"Our Shifting Souls on the Plain of Purgatory"

Occasionally we get brief
fleeting glimpses of Light
and Freedom - at least in
the relative sense - and it
is such an overwhelming
rapturous experience so
that it causes our senses
to become momentarily
rewired into another
circuit board

This, most times is short
lived, and the silver cord
that promulgated this
interaction is once
again severed

The brief moment of clarity
that induced such an altered
state of perception is closed
as the skies cloud over and
hide the sun; and, once
again it is revealed to
us that creatures we
are earthborn and
earthbound

Just an atom of the earth's
soil; we are Adam, a blood
clot formed from the earth
and endued with a soul

In the supernal he has his
name Lucifer; but, in the
earth, he is Adam

Both emanations supposedly
are fallen creatures of created majesty; given the ability of redeeming while in purgatory,
but through much pain and
tragedy
