"The Unlit Flame at Blue Feather’s Cross Roads"
Words these days are seldom Red like drops of lifeless blood falling cold on a hot frying pan, sentences are scattered, stuck in Go Nowhereland, semi-solid, immovable coagulating gelatinous, turning dark incorrigible They are watched silently by pale ghost squadrons of Life’s fleeing butterflies, who hover suspended over their favourite pets all unfinished books, dog eared and marked seams split wagging loose tales in glass courts not clearly visible, holding title on backs turned, dusty spines lie there waiting to be chosen and stroked legs of a journey opened up and kissed all over again Sons and Lovers stand still whispering promises, last minute sacrificial offerings of buried chapters all unopened secrets to be lasciviously plundered caressing green hearts like virgins tamed, engaging minds to wrap wantonly around them, non-immortal, igniting immortality and fame tracing fingers silently fanning untitled romance soft and downy Unsatisfied and found forever wanting until they find their flame, a chosen book buried deep, moist with mystery, burning like a candle in the dark unwavering, just there they approach a wall, turning its pages, holding tight for fear of letting go, they take pause bookmarking the winter of their dreams, to now seek alms and opened gates - they stand there tall, burning feet wingless in a forest with many trees, leafless in The Bardo, they wait holding their unsure smiles as coins, mouths pursed and heavy hearts jangling like lost keys on wind chimes and smoking thuribles incensed, tongues tripping full of all their unread stories of times past when they were in their prime and glory There in the ether tightly closed and suspended, a story waits, there At Blue Feather’s Cross Roads where there are no gates Golden Wings are hidden a body noble untouched in a burning bush immortal and untamed whispering seductively your unprophetic name There in the dark morning brightly starless, burns the soul made light, enlightened from the Valleys of Shadow exposing ripe red-worded lips and shining through the glass darkly mirrored eyes, it watches and waits like a bride bare stripped Volatile as white phosphorus Waiting to be stroked and lit Welcoming napalm minds unexulted high not low for a match to reign over slick swollen egos It watches and It waits voyeuristic and determining your merit with license to carry you out of the wastelands from crest of mountain to Cave of Treasures It watches and It waits whispering out your name It watches and It waits - Selaphiel The Unlit Flame (LadyLabyrinth/2019)

The angel of repentance...once, "when they were in their prime and glory... to now seek alms and opened gates" well observed...A lovely write indeed...All the best Leanne

Spock thanks for your input, go place your footprints in butter at the top of the page. Revert my author's notes and the good book passages already noted therein. I am not Jehovah's Witness, but I've been researching quite a few takes on the story of who Michael is, as well as researching a plethora of religions and beliefs. The notes in Wiki Leaks on JW's take on it (link above in author's notes), I have read. Already noted JW's stance, your passages below, before your comment. I assume your comment is for the benefit of other readers following the trail in comments. For the purpose of my story, I know who all my characters are, implicitly. I have already read your passages below. I will agree on this - Michael is certainly not God. As always, your Pal, L.

Selaphiel is all well and good to start the search with...but I am of the inclination our protagonist is searching for the Prince of the Archangels and if she were to have any Archangel by her side, it would be the one who is the Prince or leader of all archangels, the one who is described as "like God".

An angel...not necessarily repentance. I might have to continue the story. Shall I? I think I shall...Thanks Arturo. L x
