Celestial Chorus

CELESTIAL CHORUS Spent sixty years in the search for Truth, Lost childhood innocence and youth. My tears that fall are ego-laced A mournful loss not selfless grace And as my sorrows are mounting up So my need to spill this regretful cup. A godlessness now rules this heart, An angel appeared, too soon did depart. But are angels bound by worldly dues Or like mortal men, free to choose? To God or Man their blind devotion? Heavenly streams or a godless ocean? Truth and love can be disguised And angels, it seems, capable of lies. Does the Celestial Chorus sing for me Or will I be forever locked in vile humanity? Aug. 16/16

Great introspection Phil, seems like you've asked and answered your own questions, but still left wondering. Well, yes, angels and humans have a choice, to listen to God and obey his voice or not.The devil chose to try to ruin other angels and succeeded to a limited degree, and he has succeeded almost totally with humanity. So we all must choose. Nice write by the way! I'm always impressed with your excellence in word choice and phraseology!
