Luminaries, Children of the Infernal Spirit

An effulgent Angel, beauty divine,
Radiant Seraph in appearance.
designed by God in his image fine.

Heavenly Guardian, Celestial Flame,
Designed to radiate Ethereal Beauty
Destined to honor His holy name.

A Luminous Spirit, a vision sweet.
Destined to be a Divine Messenger.
Once a Cherub, with grace replete,

To guard the pure, the kind, the just.
Once a grace-filled Gainly Angel,
Free will bestowed as a sacred trust,

A Glorious Archangel, with burning eyes,
A Luminous Spirit and Holy Vision.
Yet light did falter, shadows rise;

Chose by will to twist God’s grace,
Archangel chose to be an Infernal Seraph,
fell to darkness, into its cold embrace.

A Dark Seraph cursed and cast,
Free will to serve, wanting to be served,
A Broken Cherub, bound to the past,

Became a Banished Messenger unseen,
A Cursed Celestial and a Lost Guardian.
Immortal anger, bright and keen,

Wandering Earth, a shadowed star,
Broken Cherub as an Exiled Spirit,
Despising mankind, near and far,

God’s creation, lovely yet in sin, flawed,
In anger became an outcast Messenger,
By beauty and freedom, this spirit was awed.

The fairest woman caught his gaze,
choosing to defy God’s guidance,
This mortal splendor set his loins ablaze,

Defying Heaven’s rule and God’s holy will,
this Shadowed Celestial who looked upon Earth,
He sought in lust, her soul and body to fill.

From union forbidden, children came,
and despising God’s creations,
Half-celestial, and bearing human shame.

Twilight-born, these outcasts also fell,
both women and men, also made in God’s image,
Nephilim bound to earth choosing heaven or hell.

Fallen Luminaries, cursed to stray,
also born beautiful and living in free will,
Children of shadows, light turned away.

Nephilim, loved by God though seeming afar.
also meant to serve God but choosing to deny God,
Doomed by the sins of a Rebellious Star.
