Description Sibling Colab!
Art by me, poem by my lil sis, Jordan C


The Fall.

"Our Father, who art in heaven........"

Those words used to comfort me, soothe my aching heart.

I looked down upon the straining earth. Its people, His children living in such hoplessness and pain. For what? For what great purpose came their suffering?

That prayer, the imploration few humans spoke, consoled me, it reminded me that there was someone watching over them.

I, nor any of these humans are skilled to understand the meaning. It's something only God can apprehend.

I used to think that, those words once did satisfy my need to feel hope.

Now, as the freedom skies I once called home burn away in blinding light and my unbearable agony, I doubt anyone is watching over me. Or the bereaved people i fall to.

I was so trusting.

Absolutely amaurotic by my suppossable false hope of something greater than myself.

There is nothing. These questions all have the same answer.

He was never with me. There is nothing.

Enveloping shadows, darkness and pain as i'm torn away from my home, my love. Not light. Not anymore.

"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven,"

The first soldier has fallen.

lol, no doubt.

although my thought was: the fall tears away everything immortal and angelic from her (which i doubt feels pleasant), so she just a normal girl by the time she lands

Great potential cover for a novel about Lucifer's fall or the crumbling foundation of Heaven and how screwed we mortals are if the castle above the sun is shot, or something... Wicked cool.

Beautiful, especially the shattering wings--hard to tell if they're feathers or glass.

the original plan was to have the wings on fire, as seen in this earlier version: [link]
but once I saw a version that made them look like shattering glass, I had to continue in that direction

glad you like!
cheers

I think you were right to end up with the glass, although the desktop you have of the two juxtaposed is magnificent. Perhaps people would enjoy a print or poster with the two facing off like that, too.

I once wrote a poem of a similar nature but with a positive perspective. I am not trying to self promote but if you're interested it's here: [link]
