A Place Once Called Eden

The Angel's Flight

It was once upon a winter night

That my path did cross the

Angel’s flight

His raiment shone of fire within

He said my song had summoned him

A snow was falling silent, deep

Then the moon shone on a world asleep

The angel moved to still my fear

His eyes were swollen and filled with tears

He said this earth was once paradise

That man was filled with greed and vice

And that man had long since shunned his gift of reason

Then the angel turned and took my hand

And led me down across the land

Where we were joined in the night and the heart of

A place called Eden

He said

Come walk with me my loving son

And understand what man has done

To the bounty and to the gift that he was given

Come walk the garden path with me

And understand the mystery

That binds man ball and chain to his Armegedden

Then the angel smiled and said to me

That ours was a greater destinly

That life was like an only child

That we might cherish for a while

He said that God was love and that

Song was prayer

And that man had failed 10,000 years

In his fall from grace unto the depths of his

creeds and isms

He said with all beneath the sun

That the soul of god and Man were ONE

And that a heart of stone was a

just and a riteful prison

Now I felt within a deep dispair

His words were more than man could bear

He said that man must learn to pray

And that for the crime of one..

Mankind might pay

And that we must search to the depth of the heart where the truth is written

The angel said God’s love was blind

That to judge was death

And to forgive divine

And that with greed and with the finest gold

Had men forged the bars of

the gates of Eden

Then the angel raised a flaming sword

He toouched my tongue to seal my word

And as I felt as one consumed within

He asked if I might sing for him

And we spent the night in song and prayer

And I felt a loving presense there

and I was born in the night anew in the

light of reason

And though I know not how or when

As I reached to touch the angels hem

We did part in the night and the heart of

A place called Eden

So if upon some winters night

Your path should cross the angels flight

I pray you’ll find a song within

To shelter warm and comfort him

And when you look into his eyes

Remember

Even angels cry

And that we are as

ONE

and as whole in the eyes of a God

That perhaps need’s us.

And be thou blessed and born anew

And know that you shall witness too

To we who are wandering in the dark of the night from

A place called Eden
