Oh little ones I felt the fall
The splintering among you all
As heavens opened I espied
The way you wailed, you fell and cried
What once was One had to rebel
And what this brings the brave don’t tell
Oh little ones that once were great
In being many, many hate
Oh little ones I feel your pain
This unity you must regain
But see your souls are split apart
And each a beating, living heart
This lucifer is shards of light
Your choice to breed this barren sight
Oh little ones, you’ll pray and cry
To yet return here by and by
Oh little ones I felt the fall
The splintering among you all

I went with something kind of biblical/religious, the choice of the Fall and a secret of the humanity arising from that. It’s a fictional theory, but nevertheless…. 🙂

I thought you captured the biblical feel very well Helen. The pleading need for restitution worked well for me. Well done.
Thanks Michael!! 🙂
sounds a bit like Plato’s theory of the fall in Timaeus, where he argues men and women were originally of one sex, but were split in two by some higher power in order to be made dependent on each other and to learn from this experience.
and of course, very nicely written!
Thanks, yes, similar sort of theory really!! 🙂
Very well done… insightful. Most people miss that the biblical word sin comes from the root word for separation… the split apartness from others, ourselves, reality, God….
a nice touch with the caring language….
Thanks so much!! 🙂
This is positively spectacular Helen very well articulated theory XD
Thank you!! 🙂
Love, love, love! Every word and line. Simplistically profound and beautiful.x

Nicely Done!
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
