Heavens' Creed

Heavens’ Creed

Act I: The life to reach the Creed
I looked to the stars pale and holy, the first born, the greater light…
They would sing my path as I walked on…
First I met hate…
Then love…
It cheated me once and I tried to find a path, yet fell again…
I watched the stars, they wavered and watched me as I left the Hill of the Stars and retook my path...
Swearing purity I went on… trials, anger, love not divine… they challenged me yet one fact, one word held my feet, held my course…
Heaven’s Creed…
The only path I could follow…
The only path I found true…
Though I passed through false love again, I found hope in words of divine wisdom…
The Creed of Heaven…
Love, Hate, Rage, Lust, and then false love of mortality…
Like flames I passed through them, taking scars, gaining strength…
I wept no tears as tears I saw wept, as faith guided me through the ignorance and barbarity of a single man, a man with no path, to see his soul to light or darkness…
blinded by mortality he fell with words of a fool on his lips, creating rifts and lies, his words after tears only made strength…
He succumbed to ignorance without obtaining power by darkness…
Passing through the first tear of my friends and kin I raced forward…
It was in those days I grew, I shed childhood, I became what I was to ever be… a man, ruled by a Divine Creed…

Act II: The Reasons for the Creed
Politics, Religions, People…. They all are linked, the three greatest mortal powers that move the world…
I chose none of these, I chose a path among the thorns, I chose truth above feelings, though feelings drove me to rise above them…
And I found my path…
Words formed, words died, and I saw truth in letters, of script and verse…
For a year’s time I mastered the pen and still yet it grows within me…
Yet from that first day, I knew who I was, who I was to become…
Actions…
They moved me, they moved my friends… even as I look at the stars I see actions raging, like friction they create resistance against each other…
Words never turned over a soul to light not darkness… the man speaking the words… the man writing the words turned that soul…
A pen can never conquer the world…
A book can not change a life…
A verse will not redeem a soul…
But the speaker, the writer through words can sculpt emotions…
Rage at truth…
Pride at lies…
Loyalty at truth…
Lust at lies…
Words never touched me… a God touched me…
Through words Divine I found the truth, and I vowed loyalty through its truth…
Through words not Divine I found lies, and I was smitten by my own spirit and became proud…
Through words not Divine I found lies, I was eaten away by my own lust…
Through words Divine I found truth, I felt rage white and hot at the lies of the world, of the Creed of man… but I found something more then mere rage in those words so Divine…
I found Love, true love… redeeming love, grace, mercy…
I found the answer to ‘the’ question… I found what I had always searched for!

Act III: The Answer to My Faith
Love was the answer! The thing that I had let rule my life and more importantly actions… Yet not mortal love. Love Divine!
Faith to Love and Love to strength my Faith…
I believed, and I knew truth Divine…
I believed in a single Creed…
The only Creed…
I believed in my God, the unknown God…
I believed in what I knew was true…
I believed…
I had found love, yet not mortal love that had cheated my own feelings and turned me to the path of a fool!
Love Divine! It was true, there was hope for man, there was a way to be redeemed…
As a child I knew I was unholy…
As a youth I knew the Terran had Fallen…
As a man I knew I required redemption…
And as a child I received his love…
And as a youth I learned the ways of God…
And as a man I adopted a new Creed…
I returned to the Hill of Stars…

Act IV: Heavens’ Creed
They gazed down at me, I had been but a boy when last I had come, yet now I was the being I would be forevermore…
“I have found the truth, I have seen the love Divine!” I cried to the night...
The stars danced and sang, and I saw my destiny, I knew what I had become…
I put faith in a promise, I still succumbed to my own instincts as I struggled up that hill, yet I had gained that day of repentance the ability to reach the top, to see the stars…
“Is this what I am? Reborn in love Divine? Is this what I was supposed to do?” I cried again to the stars.
And then in shimmering glow, in silver light, I knew…
I knew then, in that moment, just like another of living breath, I knew then that I had become what I must.
I had signed my life to a Creed, a set of ideals and morals, of Faith to Love…
This Creed has a name, nothing but letters on paper, but in the soul a light, a truth Divine…
I had become a new warrior for a new cause…
I had abandoned a mortal race, a faction to serve…
I had given up all mortal Creeds…
From that moment forward I took Heavens’ Creed to my heart…
