Fallen and Forgiven
- Fallen and Forgiven -
There is a song unheard, save by only the few,
It has awakened once again, for we who knew.
I know the words and the meaning in every bit...
Because I was there, when that song was writ!
Have you felt my coming, my life, or my destiny?
I have been here a long time, right before you.
It is foolishness to deny the true path’s memory!
Even as it has played out: on worlds past view.
Out of the empyrean glory’s holy luminous light,
I was cast away when still hid from human sight…
Fallen through the stars of the myriad galaxies,
Knowing the loneliness and such bitter sorrows.
Once I was proud, and knew such fair victories!
But then I felt the sting of a thousand tomorrows.
My prayers fell silent, as this world I fell far unto,
And in my fall, my nightmares became manifest.
I looked up at the clouds and sky of azure blue,
And in my torment, I could not my sins confess!
Like the world that once existed just past Mars,
Now only asteroids remain, silent but with scars.
Such is the soul of one: who falls off from grace,
Keeping inside: memory that transcends space.
People look for visitors, but we are here…
We look just like you, so please do not fear!
We haven’t come to conquer your planet...
Only to learn, live anew, forgive and forget.
Where is your faith, and its’ long-lost premise?
Gathered on angelic wings, filled with promise!
Even as my awakening was glorious and lofty…
I have struggled with knowledge of my true self.
The pain of revelation, bringing painful clarity…
Yet, in the midst of my confusion, I still did well.
Once I was an angel and my wings were of gold,
Now I am mortal, and one day I must grow old…
People sometimes fear me, and few understand,
That I am here: for a similar reason as mankind.
It was made so, by the highest divine command:
All living souls may be forgiven and glory find…
Even one whose wings were torn from his back,
To fit the soul in human flesh, to give it: breath!
Even one whose deeds were once called black,
Can rise again, even beyond the jaws of death.
One of seven who fought: in that heavenly war:
Who reigned and then fell, like a shooting star.
I saw distant Kobol, once a seat of celestial law,
Nearest to Heaven, before cruel war tore it raw.
People look for messengers; we have come…
We are reborn as humans: we are never done!
We have so much to teach you, if you’ll learn…
Just reach out with your heart: for peace yearn.
Where is your compassion: and the will to bless?
Gathered on angelic wings, filled with goodness!
By incredible longing, I saw the truth revealed,
The way, once unthinkable, became apparent.
Forward, ever onward, till wounds are healed,
At the end was the beginning: what sentiment!
I watched as mankind fell, even from a garden,
From knowledge given and hearts that harden.
So many secrets, and horrid years of solitude,
Walking about silent, always in a masquerade…
Hearing unbelievers raise up their voices rude,
Blind to who walks amongst them in the shade!
Thousands of lifetimes later, I am learning still…
What it means to be human: to laugh and love.
And though I fell before the might of divine will…
I give thanks to Heaven, past the stars above!
At the dawn of all, I did witness creation’s birth,
The beauty of all the planets: and of the Earth.
I stood within a black hole, as it swallowed life…
And I sailed within the sun, after causing strife.
People look for meaning, and it is out there…
You just need open minds, as hearts to care!
You have come so far, and have far to go…
Only intolerance: is humanity’s greatest foe.
Remember your mother, Eve, and her caress?
Gathered on angelic wings, free from distress!
We seven thought ourselves without any sin,
But by such we were overcome, unknowingly.
And with our ending we learned how to begin,
To live with our one-time foes: all in harmony.
Now I have a garden that I like to call my own…
I live with a family in a place that we call home.
They do not know that I am as old as all time…
Knowing me, only as that little boy they raised.
When I walk into a church, with no halo mine…
They know not that, of old, their God I praised,
When all us angels were gathered up to sing…
Before the throne of glory: with the dawn of all.
Even Lucifer bowed before the Lord our king…
And at her bright side I arose, as at it I did fall!
So many generations passed since that hour,
We passed on into legend like a fading flower.
And yet I am here to pass on my strange tale,
I who have walked: in worlds beyond the pale.
People long to wander, across the universe…
We wandered there first, and it was a curse!
We know of the emptiness that lies between…
Heaven and Earth, for the void we have seen.
Once we were lost, until grace we did profess,
Gathered on angelic wings, ready to progress!
The song is playing, as it did in an era of yore,
And it fills me with hope, for what lies in store!
I know the words and the meaning in every bit...
Because I was there, when that song was writ!
There is a song unheard, save by only the few,
It has awakened once again, for we who knew.
I know the words and the meaning in every bit...
Because I was there, when that song was writ!
Have you felt my coming, my life, or my destiny?

My information as related in my poems and short stories does not come from books, actually, but from my own personal spiritual experiences and past-life memories. You can learn about Ishtar, if you wish to pursue a study of her, in any good book about the Sumerian and Babylonian myths, legends, and traditions. Also, you might wish to read various versions of the Necronomicon. Many believe it to be fictional, but it contains a lot of very real and true things hidden neatly in its' pages. Ishtar is the Key to the Gate of Ganzir actually, not the Gatekeeper. She had to get past the Gatekeeper in order to enter the Netherworld to challenge her sister, the goddess Ereshkigal. Ishtar symbolized life, love, passion and war... whilst Ereshkigal was the embodiment of death, but also of beauty. Much like the Hindu goddess Kali (though no, they are not the same). In Ancient Greece, Ishtar was Aphrodite and Ereshkigal was Persephone... but both lost their harder warrior edge that they had in ancient Sumeria and Babylon. I hope this will help some.
