Death

By damien6102

 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth
you who once laid low the nations!

You said in your heart,
" I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the most high"

But you are brought down to the grave,
to the depths of the pit

    Yes, that was my guess too. I really do like this. Very poetic, as dwells said. Dude, I really like your style, please keep posting. Your friend was right to make you post some of your work. You are excellent, if I may say so myself. Brava!!

    The Morningstar is Venus unless I miss my guess? This was almost biblical in tone and very poetic. Still pondering the message, thanks.
