Baby Seed: Chapter Two Poem by Lonnie Hicks

Of all the angels none surpassed the beauty given to her
and he who led the Worship of the Hosts,
Lord had favored the both of them.
with exceeding beauty, ample grace such that surely Lord
must have guessed
they'd be drawn one to each
and such it was sure it had smacked of fate that one
looked upon the other and each seemed to the other
a heavenly match.

She'd sought to avoid his beautiful eye, his beautiful face
but unable to resist she fled,
sought to resist but everywhere in her mind's eye loomed his face
And he too could not shed this obsession with her, he needed, intended
he told himself, only to look at her; where the harm in that?

But more the thought, the obsession grew til he realized that she, too,
felt same and similar and circling they two were drawn into the water spout
funneled down the more they sought
to resist into it's mouth
til they came body to body, soul to soul, host to host, face to face, mouth to mouth
and consummated what they could not resist and fell full force into that maelstrom-mix of desire, love, need, and faint fear, for each knew even as the consort ensued that Steady, Riotous Consequence would fall to each and all and mystery then would place the veil on the Future Tense.

Momentous drawn yet they could not resist and fell deep down into all of this; Consequence lapping away with Fate's Intent which clear revealed that somehow their laying together was foregone and foreseen since both were near
identical made in God's image but higher than all the other angels, and, hence,
perforce would be drawn to each as consequence of their very origin.

Her footfall silent in the marching toward the Throne of Lord, her face sunken
in deep thought, she tread past the Worshiping Hosts eyes searching and then
they fixed upon him in the pulpit and locked for searing seconds, he inquisitive, she communicating fear and fright, he looking back quizzical sensing her fear and then she'd passed and contact was lost and her immediate trek resumed step by step up Heaven's Throne.
