The poem, titled “A Villanelle: The Majestic and Holy Throne Room of God Most High as Revealed in Revelation,” is a villanelle that vividly portrays the awe-inspiring scene of God’s throne room as described in Revelation 4. It depicts a radiant, gleaming throne surrounded by a rainbow and a sea of glass, where elders cast down their crowns and four living creatures proclaim “Holy, Holy.” The poem emphasizes the eternal worship and glory of God, with the Lamb and King reigning in undimmable light. Heaven resounds with a ceaseless hymn of praise, reflecting the majesty, holiness, and grace that fill the hearts of the redeemed before the divine throne.

Before the throne, a radiant gleam
The elders bow, their crowns cast down
All heaven sings the holy theme

A rainbow arcs, a living beam
Encircles glory, pure, profound
Before the throne, a radiant gleam

The sea of glass, a crystal stream
Reflects the One who wears the crown
All heaven sings the holy theme

Four creatures cry, their voices teem
With “Holy, Holy,” all around
Before the throne, a radiant gleam

No night can dim this sacred dream
The Lamb and King in light are gowned
All heaven sings the holy theme

Eternal praise, a ceaseless stream
Fills every heart, by grace unbound
Before the throne, a radiant gleam
All heaven sings the holy theme
