A poem on the study of angels, humans, and sinfulness of mankind.
Divine mystery of the unseen realms
Misunderstandings and caricatures;
They tower in my mind like a forest of elms.
Creatures of the Most High
Yet eternal, to forever serve
And to not at one point die,
Unless to evil did pledge allegiance
Then to the Lake of Fire for punishment.
With fallen and holy angels,
Dangerous and fear-inspiring,
Not mere fables
or mere imagination.
Beyond the machinations of the nations
Yet establishing strongholds and defending prophets.
Invisible except to a few humans.
Drawn in cartoons and highly misunderstood.
Perhaps your laughter is mixed in with your praises of the Most High God.
I embark on my journey to learn about you.
To seek & find spiritual truth;
Seeking truth requires diligence and the curiosity of youth.
Wondering why and continually asking questions
I have not explored for a long time.
It’s been a long time since I have stared at the stars
And pondered.
In silence.
Holy Scriptures speak of you, created beings to serve the Triune God.
O, angels who serve the Lord,
Who Honor Christ as Lord,
Protect me as I learn,
And fortify me against the Adversary
Who parades as an angel of Light.
Let me learn and be humbled
by the might and fright of ancient beings
and the Heavenly Court.
To trust in the Lord in my search for truth
and to pursue
Chastity
& Charis
with great joy.
