Maranatha

Our Lord has come

Our Atlas came carying the world on his shoulder down the Via Dolorosa

Our seer came proclaiming the Visitation of God Most High

Our Teshub came liberating our souls from bondage

Our magician came revealing the Name of Great Power

Our Aten came sharing his divinity with his people

Our shaman came blowing upon us the sacred fire

Our Melchizedek came distributing our portion of mercy and justice

Our choreographer came coordinating the penultimate cooberrie

Our Michael came clearing a path through the battle

Our maharaja came establishing a law of grace

Our Nergal came satisfying the earth's insatiable hunger

Our prophet came turning my heart to repentance

Our Ganesh came giving us his wise head

Our groom came betrothing himself to this Shulamite

Our Hadad came calming the longest storm

Our most loyal companion came remembering my being

Our Kingu came relinguishing his vital blood

Our entrepreneur came entrusting us with his business

Our Dionysus came pouring out new wine

Our dj of planets came playing his premiere set

Our Odin came restoring Yggdrasil's spectrum-light

Our aquarius came slaking our Samaritan thirst

Our Nasr came gobbling up my leper flesh

Our gamemaster came revealing hidden assets in the matrix

Our Suen came making the ground holy

Our physician came prescribing for us immortal life

Our Volcan came forging in us omnipotent swords

Our eldest brother came reconciling me to our Father's love

Our Ahura came filling us with his pure energies

Our mayor came convocating us into a new citizenship

Our Mahadev came obliterating our fear and shame

Our renegade came calling us to nonviolent resistance

Our Pashupati came taming my wild beast

Our lightfooted shephered came and even now brings me through his Gate of Peace

So the pastures need not know I was ever grazing here

Oh My Goodness AL!!…..I sat thinking for a few.....Is there a better closing line for this most brilliantly compelling piece?.....Is there?.....My friend, I cannot think of anything more palpable....more  creative.....more telltale.....more resonant than what you have masterfully given us here ~

                ~ "So the pastures need not know
                    I was EVER
                   Grazing here..."

Outstanding descriptions! 

I had to look us many of the names and places referenced, which made the poem more interesting. I was happy to learn about the many mythological gods and lords were listed in the poem. I also sensed it was about all the world leaders and prophets that have got together, thinking this could be a sign from God or it's the end of the world happening right before our very eyes. I worry about this also but feel it's just a huge challenge that we will have to over come. 

The last line is perfect, well done!
