It is a grief to be a light within a shadow. The shadow bringing spirits upon you to feast. The rays of your brilliance being temporal and futile. Only in the space of one's own being can one be comforted, one is in contempt of the world.
Only in oneself can their be assurance, may you never sustain life but as a moment gone by.
Is this not God forsaking us? For we have attempted to steal the fires of heaven? We have taken such a flame from the eternal and it has lost it's intangibility. We have taken the immutable word and robbed it of it's divinity. We have stolen the knowledge of good and evil. Are we cursed to perpetual darkness? Is our flame only but an illusion of the infinity?
Aspiring to be like our creator, we have forgotten our place and be cast away from the kingdom of heaven. We have become one of satans ilk. For in stealing this fire, we are now consumed in the darkness that pervades the world and only within this ghostly fire can we see any light. What are we to do? We have been forsaken. What has been done can not be undone, and our existence is the feast of the spirits of the dark.
There is a man that is said to know the way. The way to our salvation. This man is supposed to be a path out of the shadows. But in this path might we only find faith? In this faith, are we to return this fire and return to heaven? What is this faith but an elusory hope? Is it really any different than our fire?
Time will pass as our flesh rots with decay. The blood of our futility pours like a streaming cup into the gaping mouth of darkness of the ages. We seem to become little more than food for thought, just a feast of spirits. Should we have never have become a light in a shadow, we may have never been just a thought. Are we doomed of being forsaken? Are we only to exist from underneath a shadow? In all my years of moralizing, I wonder if it is I that am judged.

A light in a shadow, an experience i am all to familiar with especially when i went trough the darkest of dark and my flame went out. Frozen by the coldness around me i couldn't see any light around me. But what i found was deep within, a new light, my light, it had not gone away, a deeper flame was still burning, the flame of my soul.
At the darkest of times i realized who i truly am as i still was who i was despite having no reason to, my light renewed and now shines brighter then ever before. So bright it awakens the light in those around me, so bright it can fill the room even at the darkest of times. The blackness that once was still is and is darker then before, but with the new brightness i have discovered it no longer manages to keep me in the dark.
Learning that the best of lights can illuminate the world and heal those who have no light, i discovered that it isn't on others to bring us salvation. It is to us to brighten who we are.
Very good. However not a exactly proper response to what my message was about. Or so I think.
My poem, as you may call it, was questioning whether or not our ability to have freewill has destroyed our ability to be christian. Because the light that is from God, the one true way, we can only seem to speculate. In our preponderous we are a light, we become lucifer. We excercise our divinity, however we cannot realise the eternal wisdom of God. We can only flicker as time goes by.
You seem to be expressing the emotion of uncertainty, doubt and grieve. It does resonate with my message. And in fact, this light that is hope, is also this divinity. But your hope fulfils an emotional need. My contention is the daughting fate of reality.
Its was mostly an inspiration stemming from my own beliefs and the illustration of light and it did intertwine with your message a bit.
Basically where you are assuming we are forsaken into the shadows in need of salvation my view is that we aren't forsaken at all. So i share my story of what its like to be a positive loving individual in such a harmful selfish world. I show that its possible to overcome the pain that got inflicted to you and that its possible to lift yourself up and become a savior for others. A positive being that lifts them up to be more positive themselves.
After all to me its not jesus that will save you or make things better, that is up to you to try and when you try you can achieve.
Understood and it was good, no doubt. However you can't find hope out of fate. Fate is a certitude. You cannot become omnicient, you cannot become a part of a God. We have become our own gods and no longer can we revive that which is our ignorance.
I like what your saying its just Im not reaching out for comfort. Im pretty satisfied in my begrieving. Like, when one witnesses a death of a loved one it is only appropriate to cry. A sad thing is sad and it doesn't need to be sullied.
Its not even that I am trying to be overly religious either, its just making a philosophical observation or statement, perhaps as a question.
In fact it may be construed as being blasphemous
Its actually not about grief, if you replace light with good and dark with evil you may get the message a bit better.
My beliefs are different from christianity, to me its not about what you do its about who you become. Its not about being forgiven for your sins but about growing out of your sins And when you achieve being the best you can be you can aid others in there quest to be a better person themselves and lift them up to a better state of being.
It is linked to happyness since positivity brings joy but its much deeper then emotions.
Sure, we should strive to be better despite our troubles. Sometimes things are tough and they can wear a person out. You still can find happiness though, if you look within long enough and draw it out.
Or at least I think I get what your trying to say about yours.
I just not sure how to explain my thoughts to you though. Like there's a christian proponent to it but its not solely a religious question, its a philosophical question.
Like light is usually the simple of illumination/consciousness/energy/enlightenment/vision/the mind/internal world/morality.
Darkness is synonmous with immorality/blindness/external world/physical reality/unconsciousness.
Lucifer is depicted as the morning star/ enlightenment/the vessel in which gods radiance shines through/will power/consciousness.
Lucifer is the symbol of humanity and its freewill. God is the symbol of the cosmos and gnosis, divine knowledge.
This isn't about forgiveness or redemption, its simply saying that we are limited to never achieve full enlightenment. It becomes just any daze in a spiral.
Isn't lucifier the devil in christianity? But your interpretation from light and dark is the same as mine.
Lucifer is first Gods number 1 angel (an angel is the messenger of god/ideas) Lucifer claims he will become god and is cast to the earth with his devils (bad ideas) Lucifer becomes begrudged and becomes satan (the deciever) Satan is the lies we tell ourselves
Dang that was great sir👍
Thank you!
Too be honest it was still very amateur and there's so much I forgot to add from my thoughts in there. I don't really expect too many people to understand it though. So I hope the imagery is good enough.
I have a christian sense to me and the religion is treated with a lot of subjectivity. So, I just wondered whether or not those that incorrectly interpret such a thing are any different than the luciferians in that they too are not one minded with the likes of God.
People are strange don't worry it was different and I liked it. I don't compliment many so😀
Well thank you. Im glad to have won over your favour as it is not something trivial.
