The Akash



Records opened from heavenly library
Shared for love and all to see
For man to evolve their dignity
And enlighten each other with empathy
What man not beast lays asunder
The Akash will render all who blunder
Look after with grace all those smaller and the weaker
Their little lives as do ours always matter
Shared from the voices of human angels
Who art messengers who art saviours
Listen at will the greatness of God
Awakenings of light reflecting from their bodies
Laying soft judgements on heavy metal fists
When will they realise true love exists
However man will go on in this warming
As all Gods creations are yet, still dawning
Their beauty as magical as time allows
And all the purity of nature caught as it throws
Its majesty throughout and over all
Listen to the angels glorious call
As they adorn you witness their side
Filling the heavens with ample pride

    This poem is absolutely stunning! The imagery is so vivid and striking, and the message of love and empathy is so uplifting. The vivid descriptions of the divine Akash library and human angels as messengers and saviors is incredibly powerful, and the reminder to look after the smaller and weaker is so important. The words flow together so beautifully, and the line about "awakenings of light reflecting from their bodies" gave me goosebumps! Overall, this poem is a breathtaking reminder of the sheer wonder and majesty of the natural world, and a call to all of us to be more aware of the beauty around us. Fantastic work!
