Angels

Many souls with a single will

A host in harmony

Blissfully sharing, joyously caring

For all who are on earth 

Well they protect us, well they guide us

Well they illuminate

Inspiring, confirming and blessing us

That we may demonstrate

How many angels have I known?

Aware and unawares

Disguised by wealth or poverty

Hidden or shining forth?

How much have they shown me?

How high have I been raised?

Is it possible to show my gratitude

Since they cannot be praised?

I must bow down to the One

The angels bow before

Praising Him as they do

Now and for evermore 

Pre-existence was parted by the Word of God 

Becoming the nameless and the named. 

Wisdom defined the named, giving structure for the law.

As the latent souls come forth and contemplate 

They ascend to the unseen through detachment 

And descend to earth through attachment. 

Tests uncover for them inner truths 

And provide the means for manifesting them. 

Thus were we taught 

By the emerald tablet of Idres.

And the wisdom of Huang Di.

Let me enter the unseen realm

Though the power of contemplation

Then test the inner truths

Prepared for manifestation

Hades has many secrets

Come from the unseen above

They are seen by the measure

Of our tested love

Only the soul with humility

Can know the value of poverty

Only the one with bended knees

Understands the things he sees

Bow your head to the floor below

As your spirit soars for evermore

Don’t see me lying in the dust

And calmly pass me by

See the shining of my face

Stop and ask me why

The greatest treasures often lie

Beneath the surface of the earth

One of the greatest of them all

Is the secret of rebirth

High in the realm of pre-existence

Where angels come and go

There are many secrets

That even the heart can’t know

Here where every soul comes from

And waits for its return

Lie the many secret things

That we will never learn

See the angels stepping forth

To shower us with grace

On this day they have waited for

In this unlikely place

Each one bears a special gift

Awaiting a receptive soul

Rise through contemplation

That they may attain their goal

This is the time they were promised

We are the ones foretold

With shining faces and courage

We must do as we were told

How do the angels come to earth

And live among common men

Without resurrection and rebirth

Happening again and again?

Angel seeds have been deftly sown

In every land by the Gardener’s hand

When they have germinated and grown

Angels will appear, far and near

Provide for them a fertile place

Water them with heavenly grace

They will come and in His Name

Raise the dead and heal the lame

Defer to them when they come to you

And live your life just as they do

I have been an angel of life

I have been an angel of death

I have been a gardian angel

Monitoring every breath

I have been a bringer of joy

When I was an angel of birth

I have been a recording angel

Remembering every worth

I have been a help to some souls

As an angel of inspiration

Assisting in their growth

As an angel of confirmation

Never wishing any harm

Seeking only to rejoice and protect

Treating all who I may meet

With abiding love and respect

The human heart struggles

For purification

The heart of the saint strives

For sanctification

The angel’s heart rises

To illumination

The human path

Is fraught with danger

The path of the saint

Is exhausting 

The angel’s path on wings of spirit

Is ecstasy, joy and bliss
