DarkAngel
I stand here, on this white, glowing cloud
my wings spread, my fire bright, and my halo the most golden gold
my flames burn tall, alabaster, fierce; and are the substance of my soul

As I stand here, I listen to the voices of the dark Earth, far below
and I hear the insistent whisper stand above the rest
It says "Come, follow me; and I will give you great power"

I turn from that whisper; for I already am great power
a ruler among the realm of angels, a servant of the gods
I have golden, fiery wings, a halo, clothing of the purest white
humans bow down before me, just as kneel before a higher force

And for a time, all is silent; my fire burns brightly on, uncaring;
my wings burn red gold, my body untouchably hot
yet... the voice comes again, and speaks to my soul.
It says "Come with me, and you will reap souls for eternity"

I turn from that voice, yet again; for humans bow before me.
I am brilliant; they give themselves to me, and in return, I simply listen
They give me all I desire, and I aid them in their troubles
They think of me, and I heal them

Then, for a time, all was silent... and the voice returned...
Far stronger, I can hear the dark power resonating in it's deep tones

It takes me on a journey; shows me all the dark corners of the world
Shows me the pain and suffering that these peoples' god allows
Shows me the dark, sorrowful kingdoms that would be mine to heal
And I ponder my choices.

And I Decide! I return to my clouds, cast off my halo
I fall to Earth, burning with my now-dark fire
My wings burn black as pitch
my clothing, like an empty, starless night

I wander this new realm, taking lives, stealing souls
taking all from their pain.
they run from me, for they do not understand
I am the unstoppable dark force, the ultimate fire
serving none but myself, and forcing others to serve me.

And once...I looked back, at what I once was...
I remembered my clouds, the halo... the terrible brightness...
My white gold wings, the eternal joy, emotionless

Then I thought about what I have become, my pain, joy, hatred, love, and sorrow
my darkly burning self, my still infinite strength in a new, everchanging world
And I denied the evil of the light
.
