An Epic Of Creation Ch2 Beta Poem by Josh Kirkwood

An Epic Of Creation Ch2 Beta



Chapter 2: Arise

1. As the aeons, uncounted, unmeasured, transpired,
the Lord of hosts immortal vied
to bring to the fore,
true denizens of life,
with the power to choose between love, and strife.

2. As yet, only goodness unchallenged existed.
And so on, the heavenly host persisted.
But into the static paragon of heaven,
God placed one flaw, one imperfection.

3. Seeing this, the heavenly host decried;
'Look here! This is all we have been denied! '
And some stole away into this place,
of heaven, devoid of eternal grace.

4. Bitterness and jealousy soon took root;
darkness was light; lies were truth.
This place became the opposite of heaven
perfection inverted, malice unfettered.

5. Now God, knowing how this would all come about,
prepared, for he had a plan to set out.
For you see, it were necessary for beings of light
to choose darkness, and distinguish wrong from right.

6. The foundation of his plan now committed,
he set about explaining to the host, his intention.
'I will now make man and set him an home
of earth, and water, and sky for a dome
to sustain and protect him, from the abyss
where no mortal life, or its love, could exist......

must think now..... will write more asap

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a continuation of Chapter one, which I began ten yrs ago. This chapter is going to cover a few basic opinions of mine about creation: that god introduced sin into the static perfect heaven, through the agency of 'beings of light', in order to allow for the creation of a mortal being with freewill that will be born, live freely, and die in successions (reincarnations) until its spirit becomes a being of light also. Yes. I said that. Until we all become beings of light. I believe we will return to where we came from, eventually. The end and the beginning are in the same place ;) .
All this is going to take a lot of research and meditation. The first chapter only took ten years. *chuckle* This poem is my life's work.
