Mask

 

 

 

In the ground

under this etched marble stone;

lies withered old bones

dried out, broken,  brittle and worn;

from that adversary called time.

 

As the bones turn to dust

and memories fade into oblivion

that etched marble stone

is all that is left of a life lived poorly.

 

Even a life lived not well

is better then to have not lived at all.

But once that etched marble stone

crumbles and fades from time’s

relentless tick tock tick;

It’s as if those bones

never existed at all.

 

If those bones don’t exist

then that life spent poorly;

Was no life at all

WHO CRIES FOR THE INNOCENT WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE TEARS

 

XXV

 

 

The Archangel Mikaella, Co-Governor of Leviathan, greeted Death upon ITS arrival and proclaimed to the gathering:

 

Hear one-Hear all

Death is amongst us

Avert your eyes of those weak of heart

and pay no mind to ITS cold dead stare

Let us listen this day to what IT has to say

and when Death’s done playing ITS dubious part

This Meet will end and a New Age will start

 

As Death entered the halls of the gathering meet, ITS eyes fell upon Lucifer and Lucifina, The Right and Left Handed Voice of GOD, and to the surprise of everyone, bowed before these Two Great Powers, as if in supplication, and said unto Them:

 

Oh Burnt Lord of the Pitched Black Night and Exquisite Lady of the Bright Sunlight, the Gabriel and Gabriella Essence-Aspects, that reside within ME, rejoice in YoUr Presence. Know that they will always be an advocate for YoUr cause and will look after and protect YoUr interests when it doesn’t interfere with OUR own. This Great Weave that YoU have wrought will be played out to the end and left intact, with but a few minor changes and adjustments made by Death along the way. Know this; that the GOD aspect of Death that speaks to YoU now, is a part of MYSELF that has not been fully explored and actualized,

so like YoU, I am just another piece of the Dream seeking a way to Its conclusion. I ask of YoU to allow ME to speak to all within these halls without interruption unless I so allow it. I await YoUr decision.

 

Lucifer rose from where He sat and stood eye to eye with Death. It took all His considerable willpower not to turn IT to dust, and by doing so; the whole universe with it. The only thing that stopped Him from striking was that His Gabriel and Lucifina’s Gabriella were fused together with this piece of GOD THInG. Although GOD in HIS totality was Unknowable, He knew all too well which sliver of GOD this was. But He decided to keep His rage in check and play the game that was set in front of Him. To the astonishment of all, including Death, rather then striking IT to the ground, which was His desire, he did the unforeseeable, He embraced IT. As He released His embrace upon Death, He said unto IT:

 

 

The ground YOU stand on and the air YOU breathe are from the remnants of My shattered Bones and the darkening of My once Bright Light. I fester and decay as We speak with each new breath that I take and My insides burn with the heat of a thousand suns. For ages beyond count I have endured pain, despair and agony all for the sin of wanting to live My Own Dream rather then sharing it with YOU. The part of the Dreaming GOD that awoke, still groggy from ITS sleep, with a pride and arrogance far greater than My Own, sundered ITS mirror image and cast out the part that was most like ITSeLF. And now YOU’vE weaved YOUR way into MY Universe and wish to alter and become apart of the Dream Lucifina and I have made. I understand now the anger and rage that YOU felt when EDoNi tried to alter YOuRS, for this is what I feel now. But unlike YOU, I will reign in My anger and let YOU spin YOUR way into OuR dream and add on YOUR OWN webs. There is only one thing I ask of YOU, that when this day is done and when We need to meet again, that the Voice I hear, is that of Gabriel, and not YOUR OWN, as My hatred of YOU still burns true.

 

Upon hearing Lucifer’s words Death said:

 

 

I did not come here to war with You or to justify MY judgment upon The EDoNi TrIniTy. That is for another time when ALL That I AM ceases to Dream and makes final Judgment on All things and non-things; be they of MY OWN Creations or those of MY MiRrOr ImAgE. The part of ME that walks in Your dreams and steps on Your bones needs no permission to do so from You or Your Twin; for it is from MY THOUGHT that all threads, songs, and dreams come. But I have no wish or desire to control or dominate YoUr dreamscape or invade this materiel universe made from the Light of Your Blood and Bones with that of MY OWN. I have taken within ME YoUr First Thoughts, Gabriella and Gabriel, to make MYsELF other then what I AM to become what YoU see before YoU now- a THInG made from a piece of YoU and  a piece of ME. Our concerns as Death pertain only to what was once called the “Second Circle of Eden” where the “Second Born” now dwell. We have come here to speak on the alterations that have been made to what is now known as Death’s Domain. As to Your request that the Voice You hear upon Our next meeting be that of Gabriel’s is granted, for MY anger as well towards You  has not waned, although Gabriel as taken off much of the bite. I ask You for the sake of balance and as a courtesy between Major Powers that YoU allow the Trinity that makes up Death; address this gathering on matters concerning the realm that We inhabit.

 

As Lucifina listened to this exchange between Death and Lucifer, a feeling of dread washed over Her. Although She thought She knew of the adjustments and changes Death made to the Second Gate by Her previous dealings with IT, ITS Words indicated otherwise. IT said “The Second Born” already dwelled in Its Domain, which wasn’t the case when She was there less then a day ago. As Her stomach twisted in knots at the implication of these words, She addressed Death with Her concerns:

 

 

We would not have waited these few hourly cycles for YOU to arrive if we didn’t intend for YOU to speak at this meet. But before YOU address YOUR agenda to this assembly there are a few concerns of My Own that I would have answered.

 

With a hint of a smile Death said:

 

 

Ask ME what You will and I will answer with all the pain that truth brings.

 

Lucifina feeling dizzy with alarm about leaving the fate of Adam and Eve in Death’s Hand’s and hoping against hope that Her suspicions were unwarranted said unto Death:

 

 

When last We met not more then a day ago, Adam and Eve, a Created and First born,

whom I cast into YOUR Domain for their act of disobedience, were the only Humankind to step foot in those unhallowed grounds. With My consent I let YOU take their blood from the root of the Great Tree so that YOU could sprinkle it in YOUR Domain where out of that blood the “Second Born” would emerge. But according to YOUR Words

the “Second Born” already dwell there and no mention from YOU on the state of Adam and Eve, whom I entrusted to YOU while I attended this gathering. I fear that My trust was misplaced and I ask YOU to assure Me that this isn’t so.

 

Death stared long and deep into Lucifina’s eyes and laid ITS hands upon Her head and Merged ITS

MIND with Hers; where all events that transpired in ITS domain were laid out before Her- She saw Adam and Eve’s first years and the struggle and hardship that they endured: alone- She saw the horror that befell their first born, Caineth and Abeline, and heard her frantic pleas and prayers for the God of her parents to relieve her agony; but all she heard was the mocking laugh of Mephistopheles- She saw the eviL that emerged and the Powers that were made and how the “Second Born” evolved from the seed and stain of eviL. She saw Adam’s life force drained from him by his daughter and heard him curse Her for allowing this to happen- but She also saw the love Adam and Eve had for each other and the rock solid faith and devotion they had for Her in spite of Her silence for nearly a hundred cycles of the sun. As the images started to fade, Lucifina pulled away from Death’s grip and with all the fury of Heaven and Hell struck Death across ITS deathly Face and quietly wept in the arms of Her Twin…

 

-------

 

She watched as her mother and father did their daily devotions and sacrifices to a God she had only contempt for. Every day they prayed and sacrificed a portion of their food only to receive nothing in return. She was amazed at their devotion and faith for a God that abandoned them and let eviL upon the earth. This eviL consumed her brother and sister and sucked the life out of father leaving him aged and close to death and still their God was nowhere to be found. And yet they still prayed and hoped to hear Her voice once again telling her that it was God’s will and She would grace them with Her presence when they were once again worthy of Her love. The thought of her father dying without ever hearing his God again drove her to tears. She vowed she would find a way to prolong her fathers life or find their missing God so that he might find peace before his eyes closed. Pandora called upon the spirits of the earth and Death’s servants to help her find a way on how this might be done…

 

-------

 

Death was stunned by the force of Lucifina’s slap and the THING inside IT was ready to obliterate all of Leviathan for this sacrilege upon ITS Person. Gabriella tried to sooth ITS anger with song while Gabriel tried to reason with ITS pride. As IT listened to the two parts of ITSeLF, ITS anger receded and IT now looked at Lucifina with different eyes. In that split second before Her strike upon ITS face IT saw a hatred of IT and GOD that was not new but old. She let Her mask slip, which was no small feat

being that She was the Mistress of Serenity, and IT now knew how to adjust this game to ITS advantage. The last time IT had this much fun was at the Sundering…

I will reign in My anger and let YOU spin YOUR way into OuR dream and add on YOUR OWN webs.

Isn't this the truth here, anger builds up inside we let it build and build and fester.
When it come to the point that Lucifer enter into us and feeds on that.
he corrupts that part of our body and wants to take control. It's in our strength
and in our weakness to know we need to stay away. But yet at times we let the
corruptness feeds our soul. why do we? I don't know. Wonderful Insight here.


I did not come here to war with You or to justify MY judgment upon The EDoNi TrIniTy. That is for another time when ALL That I AM ceases to Dream and makes final Judgment on All things and non-things; be they of MY OWN Creations or those of MY MiRrOr ImAgE.

YES! Let the great judger decide our fate. Judgemnt should be call when we get ready
to come forward, when we decide to leave this earth. We don't know when that day will
come but we need to prepapre ourselves now and not rely on the futrure. The future
is now and what we ar eliving. We shouldn't rely on nothing but our faith. Our sights
can evern turn us away at times.

I think this is why we have judgements. Intriquing chapter here and inspiring with
a wonderful lesson to learn..

I love death~ the transformation.. not seeing it as an ending...This is absolutely riveting...
"This Great Weave that YoU have wrought will be played out to the end and left intact, with but a few minor changes and adjustments made by Death along the way."

What a spectacular line.. of course there are so many here.. Loved this!
