Notes About The Poem

The Beauty of Lucifer


until an hour before the devil fell,
God thought him beautiful in heaven . . . 
                              (Arthur Miller)

God created his angels long before 
the temptation of Adam and Eve,
and the angel Lucifer was the most beautiful
he moved freely between roaming earth
and back to heaven and to the throne of God

Lucifer fell from heaven because of his pride 
    conceit in his own beauty
      his wisdom
         his intelligence
            his power

he desired to be GOD and not a servant of God
he was exceedingly beautiful and he used that beauty for evil
God made him the highest of all angels
a heaven where all the angels were beautiful but Lucifer
was God's most lovely creation

Lucifer wanted the throne of God
wanted to take over heaven
cast out God
in any way he could divise

but an hour before the temptation in the garden
God cast the beautiful angel, Lucifer out of heaven
he did not fall
he was pushed out

Lucifer came down and down
created an anti-God city where he was the ruler
he created hell
and became the Satan that we know of today
and temptation became his sword of power
he can appear to you in many forms
from beautiful or evil 
     a monster with horns
        or even a hissing snake

Satan moves freely between roaming earth
and back to his dark city . . .
his only purpose to fill his city of Hell

I never really had Satan down as the bad guy, more misunderstood . . . ; )

Indiana, I understand what you mean, but still Lucifer did try to take over heaven and de-throne God, so he had to go . . . he had been the favorite of God's angels and the most beautiful until then.... or so I read.

Hi Constance, The beautiful Angel fell from Grace. Your dream takes us from the light into the dark. Your tale of Lucifer does take one on a journey. He is his own God now within his own city. I come within your dream and i see the visions so clearly through your words. I Loved this piece. A seven and into my faves so i can read it again when i wish....MIKE.
