The Snake

 

 

 

Lust

Passion

Mother earth

Spring and rebirth

Black seeds and dead weeds

Tangled roots muddied boots

Blistering winds sweaty sins

Faltering lights darkening nights

Swim in the mud watch out for the blood

Those nails are rusty and the wood is warped

 

Drifting memories

Sorrow hunger and reward

A thorny issue

 

We dream of heaven while we play in hell

Salvation is for sinners and saints

Hallelujah Alleluia

Priestly toys and altar boys

Sour wine moldy bread

Forty days and nights

Amen Amen

Father sky

Power

Rage

 

(excerpts from “the Book of Cain”)

 

 

 

OUT OF THE

FIRE DOES DEATH AWAKE

 

XIV

 

 

 

Gabriella grabbed on to Gabriel as he entered into the Fire. They both melted into each other as the Fire consumed them from head to toe. The agony was beyond anything they ever endured, even the Great Sundering could not compare to this. They screamed in unison, till only a single scream was heard. What was once one and then became two;

 

was One, once again.

 

 

All that was Gabriella and Gabriel merged back into what they once were before the sundering and for a brief moment before they turned to ash and dust- they danced and sang as one and GOD smiled upon them. Out of their dust and ash and their unbroken Spirit was Death born. No wings, does this Angel of Death wear, no song, does ITS lips sing, but ITS touch, ITS stare and ITS laughter will be the great equalizer- to the mighty, as well as the low- to the beautiful, as well as the ugly-to the good, as well  as the bad-for Death, does not take sides….

Lucifer was bolted awake from His meditation by a feeling of dread and sadness that invaded his entire body, spirit and mind. He felt a part of Him was just ripped out from under Him. He sensed a new Power had emerged in His Universe which was unfamiliar to Him. He called out to Gabriel to seek out his advice but received no answer…

 

------

 

Lucifina wept as She felt a piece of Her being torn from Her. The Gabriella She knew was no more and a Thing of Great Power had emerged from her and Gabriel’s ashes. She knew Her Twin would never forgive Her for the part She played in the metamorphosis of their most beloved and first creation. But what choice did She have, for GOD commanded it to be so. HE interjected HIS song into Theirs and now only HE knows what this new Thing will bring….

The Elementals of the first circle of Eden watched as Adam and Eve played with one another while ignoring everything else around them. They forgot or seemed not to care for their old friendships and ties they had to the earth. They seemed bewitched with themselves ever since they put blood in the root and ate of the fruit from the very Tree that plugged up the bubble of corruption that was leaking into the first circle by sucking it into its own sap. Oh how they wished that Lilith and her twins were amongst them once again, but they would settle for Adam and Eve as they once were; although not a great friend to them, but a friend never the less. So they devised a plan to bring Adam and Eve back into the fold. They would reverse the bewitchment by making them drink from the root and eat of the fruit through guile and gentle persuasion…

The White Fire of God no longer encircled the third gate of paradise. The Archangel Mikealla, now second in command of Lucifina’s legions of angels was ordered to stand down and make truce with the King and Queen of Hell. Lilith was the first to walk through the gate with her children and the elementals of the forth and fifth gate behind her. Mikealla embraced Lilith and said:

 

Welcome back to Paradise Oh Queen of Hell and Child of the Night. You are free to wander amongst the Third Circle of Eden and make it your home if you wish but certain conditions and terms must be met. State your intentions first and if they are found to be suitable then we will begin to parley.

 

Having resigned herself at being the spokesmen for all the denizens of Hell as well as all who followed her; she realized she needed to state her position strongly an unequivocally. Lilith took a deep breath and said to Mikealla:

 

 

 

I speak for two factions, for myself and those who follow me, and for Lucifer, the Lord of this Universe. Speaking for those of the earth and myself we wish to come and go freely from Hell to paradise without hindrance. While in paradise I will act as a neutral presence neither aligning myself with Lucifina or Lucifer. I ask your leave to build a city of my own making for my children and my beloved elementals for them to live and prosper in. As for my Lord Lucifer He proposes that all open hostilities between Lucifina and her angels and Himself cease. All The nine gates that he now possesses he intends to keep and henceforth it will officially be called Hell. He also proposes that the third gate of paradise and the first gate of hell be neutral grounds. Before I ask of my last request I ask of you what say you to these proposals.

 

Mikealla smiled at Lilith and said:

 

 

Some of the details need to be further explored but your proposals on face value look to be acceptable on one condition. The First Circle of Eden where Joshua and the Tree of Life reside can never be entered upon by you and all whom you speak for. Speak to me now about your last request.

 

Lilith was not happy with this condition, for She so hoped to see Adam and her daughter whom she thought of always. And who was this Joshua, although she had her suspicions. But she would accept these conditions, although with a heavy heart. She leaned towards Mikealla and said:

 

 

Lucifer requests that those Angels who were reunited with one another be allowed to live and built a home together in the Third Circle.  He also demands a Face to Face meeting with Lucifina in these neutral grounds. She must come in her materiel form for He would not tolerate a disembodied Voice. This term is not negotiable and if She refuses then His hounds will continue to trample the earth. Lucifer is waiting for an answer, what shall I tell Him?

 

Mikealla hid her excitement and said:

 

 

Lucifina will meet with the Lord Lucifer on these grounds at the full moon that rises this night. Bring also those Angels who have reunited with one another. Go back to your Lord and make Him ready for the gathering…..

While combing her hair and looking at her reflection in the gardens pond, Eve heard her name being called 

 

Oh Eve, Lovely, lovely Eve, will you not come to me and indulge me with a little conversation. Come to me Oh sweet and lovely Eve, grace me with your beauty and lilting voice.

 

Eve looked all around and said:

 

Who is it that calls my name and where might you be?

 

And the little hissing voice said:

 

 

Look up where the great tree stands and you will see me resting on its branches.

 

Eve looked up at the tree and on one of its branches laid a very large snake with big black eyes looking directly at her. She took it as a matter of course that a large snake would be talking to her. She climbed up in the tree and sat down on the branch opposite the snake and said:

 

 

How do you know my name and why is it that I’ve never seen you around before.

 

And the snake answered in a low hissing tone:

 

 

All of the gardens creatures know of the Greatness of Adam and Eve. We all worship you from afar for fear of offending the Sky God  who is quite jealous of you both. But we all drew lots and I was chosen to warn you about the Sky Gods intention of limiting your knowledge in order to stifle your true greatness and divinity.

 

Eve was quite shocked to hear that She and Adam were being suppressed from their true greatness all because the Sky God was jealous of their inherent gifts. She never understood why the Sky God always seemed angry at them and now she knew why. Eve then said to the snake:

 

 

What can Adam and I do, to claim our rightful place and stature amongst Paradise.

 

The snake slid off its branch and on to Eves and wrapped Itself gently around her body and hissed its venom in her ear:

 

 

Did you not ever wonder why the Sky God forbid you to touch the root or eat of the fruit of this Tree. It was because if you touched or drank of its root and ate of its fruit, you would then know as much as God knows and then be as Great as She.

 

Eve felt that the snakes words were true. She needed to tell Adam about God’s treachery and have the snake tell him what it told her. She told the snake to wait for her while she brings back Adam and they would decide together what needs to be done.

 

 

The snake watched as Eve ran off to find Adam. It hissed with laughter for this was so much easier then it thought it would be….
