CONFLAGRATION II

CONFLAGRATION II

And so with leaded wings they fell

while into the desolate Abyss they plunged :
some lifted their voices to GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO
in a last hope for Mercy . None was granted.

God withdrew into His Kingdom
and the Angels wrapped their wings
around themselves in a silent mourning .
All was at peace...until Creation

a nice poem Joe

I feel you should write in "last few words" space what inspired this poem. To me it seems something like its about the tragic loss of many lives of all those who were on the MS 370 Flight of Malasian Airways...

warm regards,

The Book of Revelation describes a war in heaven between angels led by the Archangel Michael against those led by "the dragon", identified with "the devil and Satan", who are defeated and thrown down to the earth.[1][2] Revelation's war in heaven is related to the idea of fallen angels, and possible parallels have been proposed in the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Good job. Cnoflagration, eh... You just introduce me to a new word, my friend. Thanks.

A poet can't have too much words,
when imagery needs to be painted
in vivid, brilliant colors of thoughts
and as imagination goes, the limit is naught.
