Chaos

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 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

Personal Note:

Don’t ever do anything halfheartedly or halfway, then don’t do it at all. There is no point to existing if you don’t go after what you want, with all of you.

Dumelang bohle!!! African Greetings!!! Please support me so I can continue to do what makes my spirit feel alive and feeds my soul; and that is to express myself through words and photos every day.
