Creature Of The Night Eternal

ולילה כיום יאיר
"and night shines like day ..."
Sefer HaBahir, verse 1, excerpt from last line

echad אחד:
157 = the gematria of ולילה כיום "and night like day" => 1 + 5 + 7 = 13

David HaMelech's gates (Sefer Yetzirah 2:4) to the Future World:
221 = the gematria of יאיר "shines" (see malchut/aretz here)

157 + 221 = 378 => 3 + 7 + 8 = 18 (chai) => 1 + 8 = 9 (tet ט)

378 = 358 (the number of mashiach, the holy serpent) + 20 (kaf כ, the power to actualize potential)

deep deep complete
creature of the night eternal
a touch divine, a bit insane, off the edge
plunging into a cutting clarity
relentless, wild
stark and undistorted, without echo, raw tradition
a serpent song, a scorpion tale
thirsting inside out, like a finger of the endless
casting kisses
from the heart of the dark
