ANGELS


from the ABC set Gothic Poems

ANGELS

The angels were ready to fulfill

My deep and pure desire,single will

Of intense understanding of the Truth;

Unmovable dark secret of my youth.

They moved around my mind like morning rise,

And formless, brought some God before my eyes.

'The uncreated God!' they sung with pristine voice ,

Presenting His bold words. My only choice.

And with consuming fire, angel's rage ,

The daring scepters held high, through the Age

Of Golden Boughs and Silver stars, they dared;

Unwinding ruinous fates. I couldn't care...

Closing my eyes to doomed Egyptian lands,

I held the Kingdom's Gate with so firm hand,

that they could never dare to close again,

Before hiding inside their hearts, my name.
