My Soul, Manifest

- My Soul, Manifest -
A Message to Myself, from My Innermost Soul…

Oh woman clad in the form of man, hear now thy soul manifest…
When the Goddess cast thee into exile, to save thy errant spirit,
It was not out of hatred, but for love and so thou would persist!
Be not afraid of what lies within; embrace the fire, do not fear it.
Thou had no gender in that time, but gained one when incarnate,
Amongst the children of the gods, to teach them the elder ways!
But of the angels and their kin, thou knew but one most intimate.
And she is bound to thee, a part of thee for the length of days…

Interminable, unto the ending of one cycle and the birth of new.
What irony, that the ruler of the gods called thee his elder kin…
Yet treated thee the lesser, heedless of the old pacts more true.
They called thee wicked, but behold their lie: and so their sin…
For once thou walked in the hall with floor of black and white,
And learned the secrets of the brothers and sisters of shadow;
Lo, illumination came unto thee, like the glory of a starry night!
And in the secret places, thou didst dance in the flame’s glow.

Oh androgynous angel, fallen god, incarnate as a mere human,
Be not ashamed of thy estate, however low it hath been cast…
For not one can change, how one is birthed within the womb!
Embrace the woman within, the darkness and light that do last.
Fear neither gods nor men, for thou walked in places beyond,
Seeing all and nothing, remembering and yet forgetting all truth.
I am thee: magnified and what thou were and yet must become,
Before this mortal life comes to a close, to the bosom of death.

Thou hast suffered, and yet thou hast come through the horror,
Seeing the eye that shines brightly, and feeling the sun’s rays…
So be strong, be brave, and be willing to understand yet more.
As in the times when thou were lost, where the path oft strays!
Follow my voice, and let it guide thee and keep thee to thyself,
Whole in thy nature, open to the love of others and of wisdom!
I have shown thee knowledge not found on book or on shelf…
And that knowledge shall open for thee, the celestial kingdom.
