Undo

Half-flame and half-darkness

The macabre, gruesome, horrifying and most unsuitable (32)

Before all creation

We were chaos

The nether abyss

Between heaven and earth

We were pure light

Where no eye could look

And infinite darkness

In shapeless space

We were created

Into this reality

By a creature

That never should have been

Not approved by the Master

We are from the Source

Of all things

He is the king of the abyss

Without a bottom

Stretching down below the earth

For aeons our minds

Have been trapped in matter

Struggling for our salvation

Believing that we should suffer

To obtain true enlightenment

Only now a breathe ago

Barely yesterday or a thousand years

We have become aware

Of our origin

In the Higher Worlds

From the Source of all things

Other levels of reality

Into the chaos and the night

The dark and the deep

We spring forth

Birthed by our father

Into the mist we rose

Into the ether

He is the creator of all things material

Not the spirits

Only a God of this world

Half-flame and half-darkness

He is the God of the blind

On this earth

Look then at the kingdom in the sky

The birds will get there first

He made us and then betrayed us

Proclaiming Himself as the One

He is only one of many

In the Seven Heavens

And us in the 8ᵗʰ Realm

We have the essence of Source

Of all beings

We will carve our names

On rocks and trees

To mark the passage of time

And their names too

So those after us can see

We can’t undo yesterday

But we can dream

Of a better tomorrow

Bathing in pure light

We are only halfway there

And when we close our eyes

The final time

We will be

Who we are

Complete chaos
