Ascended
From the depths of the blistering pit
he’s risen to reclaim new beginnings.
Outstretched ebony wings are dyed white by purity.
A halo has replaced the horns that once grew out from his crown.
An angel of deception has returned with a final decree of promise.
“Never again shall I defy against the morals that have been gifted to me.”
He bathed in the heavenly aura, seeking those in need of guidance.
“Good cannot completely overthrow evil,” he states.
“However it can be kept in check.”
His duties may soon be put into rest once the battle has ended.
The angelic one must keep the evil at bay.
He faces a brand new dawn.
His filled to the brim in hopefulness.
The lost past is hindered in the darkest part of his ancient heart.
Demons may come clawing toward him, pleading for his return.
Fortunately he quietly whispers his refusal and steps beyond the golden staircase.
Before the demons can intervene,
he vanishes in a glorifying manner.
For he has rewritten the fate for his imminent.
