Tenebris Lux

CHAPTER THREE - BLACK LIGHT

She quickly put her hand inside

Reaching for the imprisoned ones hide

Grabbed its neck and pulled it free

Held it for all the Gods to see

Its hide was made from glowing light

That quickly lost its splendour and might

Hiding its form in a cloud of smoke

The crimson womans connection broke

Anger, rage and fury rose

A crackling cage thus did enclose

The woman and the cloud of ash

A net in which the god did thrash

The Lady of Thunder shook with mirth

Dragging her catch towards the earth

To claim her prize was simple indeed

But errors are made in unchecked greed

The god unleashed a mighty curse

Enveloping all of universe

Dispersing space, unhinging stars

Rending Creation full of scars

Thunder ceased and lightning flickered

Life around the woman withered

As the world around her fade

She knew that she had been betrayed

Oaths and words of Trickster-Gods

She recognized them now as frauds

Trapped inside this landless realm

The blackest light does overwhelm

It coats existence everywhere

On her skin and eyes and hair

The god was free, it stared at her

And named itself "the Renewer"

Then it touched the crimson witch

And with knowledge did enrich:

Creator-God she was to be

As Destroyer-God was he

Like a Djinn of the Trapezoid

Eternal life in blackest void

"Until," he said, "to be precise,

"Until you remake Paradise."
