living creatures

When the beings moved, the wheels moved.
When the beings stopped, the wheels stopped.

When the beings flew upward, the wheels rose up,
for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

Spread out above them was a surface like the sky,
glittering like crystal. Beneath this surface the wings
of each living being stretched out to touch the others’ wings,
and each had two wings covering its body.

As they flew, their wings sounded to me like waves
crashing against the shore or
like the voice of the Almighty or
like the shouting of a mighty army.

When they stopped, they let down their wings.
As they stood with wings lowered,
a voice spoke from beyond the crystal surface above them.
