The Leviathan Poem by Gert Strydom

Far deeper than the thundering waves,
at a unfathomable depth
where there is about no visibility
and night encompasses everything
and the pressure will crush
a human being
lies the Leviathan with no interest
but only to feed at times
from the blind fish, cuttlefish
and some sea creatures

and some men have sworn
that in times of storm
it crawls from the hole
at the bottom of the sea
and they have seen one of
its red crests riding a wave
and believe that it snaps ships
with its huge seven heads
filled with stone-like teeth

and when the storms subsides
it goes back and lies
in the depths from where it came
where it sleeps until the day
that its reckoning comes
and awaken
as a red seven headed snake-dragon
it will rise and in battle be slain
by Michael and his angels.
