Fallen Angel

click on the image to enlarge for a view of the being in the shadows

This is a result of an early morning dream as I let my mind wander in search of a new book idea.

Feathers rustle softly in the corner of my room. The sound is subtle, intentional. He’s broken through more than the walls of my home; he’s defied the barriers dividing our kinds. He perches like a wraith in the safety of his shadows, waiting for me to wake, to stir at his presence. I don’t twitch.

On ebony nights, when woolen clouds swath the mountains and blank out the moon, the world turns invisible and senses heighten. My room smells of snow and wood fire, and his breath whispers. I’m his echo, and if I could see, my slow inhales and exhales would blow the ashes of old choices into the still air and shroud my bed in a coverlet of regrets.

My eyes search the shadows for an outline, a face, a reprieve. A phantom light glimmers on the black rachis and vanes of his wings. This fallen angel has traveled between worlds for me, only to find I’ve lost my wings along the way and can’t go home.

    Interesting stuff. I have a few dream stories, too, but so far they’ve only been fragments like this, nothing that turns into anything substantial. Maybe this will be one of the dream stories with staying power. 🙂

    Hey Diana,

    I adored this elegant, eloquent and figurative foray into the liminal space between realms. It is a rare gift indeed to be blessed with such ‘vision’. The imagery is excellent the pace perfect, and the tension you establish between snow and fire is superb: my mind turned readily to stories such as Frankenstein and the interplay of passion and purity, sweet innocence and yearning for grand adventure.

    Have you really lost your wings Diana?

    May I leave you a link to an article I read recently discussing the liminal and the imaginal. I found it fascinating and hope you will as well.

Three times, I woke to found that the recording number had advanced and listened to myself singing songs I’d written but don’t remember having recorded or even imagined.

    I have had phrasing and words come to me before, usually in the middle of the night, not at all ready to awaken. So, I write using my finger to guide it along a perpendicular positioned edge. I once had a murder mystery pour out of me on lined notebook paper, almost all in one month. When it came to the end, my Mom squelched it, saying this has happened before on a television series. Hmmm.

      I’m glad you can relate, Robin. I’ve written notes in the dark too, hoping I can decipher them in the morning! Did you know that there are truly a very limited number of plots? Writers change details, characters, time frames, settings, nudge them here and there to make them unique, but still at the core they are archetypal stories. Do you still have your murder mystery? It would be fun to resurrect if you’re inclined! 😀

      Reminds me of a girl I liked in high school. I’d poured myself into the first song I’d ever written her. I recorded it on a cassette tape and gave it to her with a letter. She didn’t say anything for a few days, so I asked if she’d listened to it, to which she replied, “yeah. It kind of sounds like something I’ve heard on the radio.”

      If everyone held back from what their mom’s or other well-meaning (or not) people offered by way of opinion, most noteworthy works would never see the light of day. Forge your own path, Robin.

      (And to this day, having listened to an awful lot of music across a lifetime and with plenty of distance for objectivity, I’ve actually never heard another song that sounded like that one I wrote for the girl way back when.)

    I love everything about it, besides the feathers. That’s too biblical to me, but I am agnostic, so my opinion might be irrelevant.

    Follow the path, many will read it. Follow your instinct.

    My friend and neighbor, who is battling stage IV pancreatic cancer, told me that she felt a dark presence in her bedroom right before she got diagnosed. She said she saw something dark standing at her bed.

    I suppose we see what we fear or hope for?

      If it helps to know, Bridget, while some biblical beings are described as having wings, none mention feathers (well, other than actual birds). And none really look like what art depicts as “angels” (which really just means a messenger of any sort, supernatural or otherwise). There are some pretty odd looking critters within the pages, and most that fly have more than two wings (as many as sixteen, in fact, and with multiple faces as well).

      Not that this changes your agnostic stand, but perhaps it will allow you not to cringe quite so badly at the feathers.

          I agree with you that most art does depict the feathered wings. In fact, curious story, along the way, church people I’ve known have at times “found angel feathers” while praying, allegedly as a token that God was there. And I’d always ask the same questions:

          1. “Why are they so tiny?”
          2. “Are you willing to have it tested by an ornithologist?”
          3. “Are you open to the idea that there are feathers all over the place from down pillows, clothing, birds, etc. and that you just happened to be hyper-aware of them right now because of the book you just read about how people at that West Coast church are now finding feathers?”

          Somehow, I was always labeled a heretic. But then again, so was Galileo. 😉

      A writer can have an incredible plot, interesting characters and the ability to describe in detail — and still have a work that falls flat for lack of soul, the poetry of prose that in itself moves the reader beyond what the imagery alone can achieve.

        My mentor David Freeman once defined writing as “the artful application of exact technique to create something that transcends logic to become beauty.” Storytelling, like life, does have mystical aspect to it. We can deconstruct a narrative, just as we can dissect the body of an animal, and fully understand how the mechanics of it work, but there is an X-factor — a soul? — that animates the thing that can’t be intellectualized; it just needs to be felt.

        I seem to recall that you have a degree in theology, Diana. So you may be aware that even the bible has many “falls” mentioned. One seems to involve a joint plot against God. One involves “the sons of God coupling with the daughters of men” (and, it would seem, resulting in the race of “giants” known as the nephilim from which Goliath is said to have hailed). And another involves something unmentioned that resulted in a group who were immediately “chained in the abyss.” So you’re on good ground to find story from your dream.

          My degree is in Pastoral Counseling, which is really different. It focused on listening, exploraton, and supporting clients in finding peace with their human life in light of the harsher aspects of their religious beliefs (any faith). I worked mostly with people who were dying or who had lost someone close.

          My actual religious training and knowledge is just about nil. I’m going to have to do a bit of research, if only to gather more ideas. I like the idea of “falling” as a misnomer, and that the fallen angels actually chose to leave, because they wanted to experience “the other,” the poignant human ordeal of an imperfect and finite life. Perhaps to better understand the eternal life of spirit. (Or something like that.) ❤

      Ha ha. I do! I’ve been “writing” in my sleep/dream state lately. The trouble is, I usually forget them. I need to keep a flashlight, pen and paper by the bed. 🙂

        All of my dreams are vivid. And while they may make stellar stories, the scary ones are either so terrifying that I don’t know if I’d be able to live them over and over enough to get them into written form.

        Some from decades back still haunt me.

          Fortunately, I don’t have nightmares, other than “having to do a presentation and never having read the material,” etc. I can’t imagine how awful night terrors would be, and I can imagine that they might stick when they feel so real. 😦

            I suppose it’s just how my brain is wired. My good dreams are equally vivid and complex. In fact, across a lifetime, I’ve even had recurring (I would say regular) dreams about people and places, where I’ve picked up with them exactly where I left off. They know I live in this … life … and ask about it, and we catch up on what they’ve been up to. It’s all very real.

            I even had a “best friend” named Devin who existed in dreams. We lived in a neighborhood that only changed as normal things happened like new people moving in, stores changing owners, etc. It was on a steep hill that led to the ocean.

            Those dreams ended. Then decades later (somewhat recently), I wound up in that old neighborhood again. It had changed quite a bit. Some houses were gone, having been replaced by stores. And a few of the usual shops down by the beach were boarded up. I saw a man coming out of Devin’s house. It was his older brother Gavin (who was always in the dreams). He was 40-something. He met me halfway. I asked him about Devin, and he told me that Devin had not done so well since I “left” those many years ago. Then I saw Devin exit the house, looking very old, overweight and sad. But when he saw me, he lit up. I gave him a hug and told him I had tried and tried to get back for many years but couldn’t. He wasn’t angry, just sad. He understood.

            I woke up sobbing. Fascinating … but also terrible stuff.

    This is so deep and very poetic. I always enjoy reading your blog cause I learn a lot and you’re always driving me to a different world because of your deep thoughts. This is really well written and I can truly feel what are you trying to convey. You’re always been the best writer Diana.

    You’ve piqued my interest with this idea, Diana. I like the idea of fallen angels. I don’t know if you’d be interested, but there’s a book called From the Ashes of Angels that tries to find the origins of these angels, mostly taken from the Book of Enoch. It may give you some ideas on who’s who in the zoo. 🙂

    I love the description of this piece, the longing and loneliness. Its a story that sounds familiar and I cannot help think of my own Dark Fey, but I love how he’s waiting, regardless 😉 Just lovely, really. Not dark at all.
