Apocalypse

The word Apocalypse simply means "the revealing."

That is why the Bible story is called Revelation.

Most people think of apocalypse as a cataclysmic event.

The end of the world.

The return of God.

The ultimate triumph of good over evil.

I believe that is incorrect.

Apocalypse is the slow roll of time,

the perennial unveiling of the next moment.

Revelation has become mythology.

People expect it as some future event;

A day to be both dreaded and hoped for.

Instead, we each live Apocalypse every day,

with every passing moment of our lives.

Revelation is ongoing.

The story reveals itself

turning page by turning page.

What is written as revelation

we each determine for ourselves.
