THE ANGEL AURIEL

The garment made of gold which Auriel has always worn
Reflects a Golden Light from God with which He does adorn
The atmosphere of Heaven, giving light to all who know
The purity and sinlessness their Father does bestow
As gifts upon His children who inhabit Heaven's dome,
Who never look to earth and its environment as home.

Even now does Auriel reflect that Light from God,
Impartially illuminating holy paths untrod
By those who choose to see themselves as separated still
From God, as human egos which incorporate free will.
Albeit, he who spoke the Word of God to man on earth
Repudiated claims that human will has real worth.

We know that Jesus Christ, our Savior, said that on his own
He couldn't do a single thing to help mankind atone;
But only that which he beheld his Holy Father do,
And replicated here on earth, could salvage me and you
From Satan's subtle efforts to beguile and to deceive
Contemporary counterparts of Adam and of Eve.

Through all of ancient history, and recent times as well,
That Golden Light from God has shined through faithful Auriel.
He shines the light of truth in fearful areas of thought
With confidence and joy to guide the weary and distraught
Through paths where fiendish myths and dreams which mesmerize with fear
Have caused that which could never be to magically appear.

Appearance and perception are confused with knowledge thus,
And everything that once was clear becomes ambiguous.
As some forget to differentiate between the two,
They lose their way between what seems to be and what is true.
And disregarding thus their status as the Child of God,
They bow before illusions that the earth is theirs to trod.

Now Auriel was never made to judge or to condemn,
But simply to reflect emancipating light to them
Who wander thus in paths which lead them everywhere but home.
To guide them back to Heaven from this dreamland where they roam
Bewildered by the sights and sounds which claim reality,
But contradict the law of omnipresent Deity.

And as they wander, frequently the light from Auriel
Dispels the darkness, lifting them to heights where they can tell
That shackles of mortality which keep them bound in fear
Are false beliefs to which they're not required to adhere.
But they are free to exercise dominion on the earth,
To extricate themselves from laws imposed by human birth.

That Light which Auriel shines forth enabling them to see
Their status as the Child of God restores their liberty,
Which Satan has concealed behind a cloud of false belief,
To fill their minds with arguments of guilt, and loss, and grief.
But once that light from Auriel has made its presence felt,
They instantly recall that Heaven's where they've always dwelt.

They never really wandered in the world, a fugitive.
They never left the place where God ordained that they should live.
And thanks to Auriel, the Angel with the golden hue,
The light that they beheld is shining here for me and you.
So let us home to Heaven with our praise to God on High,
For it is not our function to be born, grow old, and die.

And if we lose our vision, or forget our destiny;
Then let us look for tints of Golden Light, for they will be
Pursuing us wherever we may think that we have gone.
And Auriel, our faithful friend, will see that we are drawn
Unto that Golden Light which God has shed upon our way
To bring us home to Heaven where we live without delay.
