Montserrat. The 10th Angel. Speaks

  Press play and let the music wash over your senses as you read. Salute. 

(A lone voice whispers)

After long nights filled with deep despair and incredible pain

Will you still try to rise like the early morning Sun

To challenge your heartbroken life again

With all the time that still remains

Do you daily pray to the Most High

To try to find some divine strength 

To try to stand up bravely on your own two feet but still feel so lost 

Like a lone sentry 

Walking in sad circles

Like a crazy audition for Groundhog Day 

Stuck in a loop filled with neverending rehearsals 

In the Sons of Perditions

inferno flames

Or will you summon me to help extinguish its many infernal names

That encourages weakness in the stillness of darkness

For I don't care for all your human academic labels

Degrees, gender, status, creed or wealth 

I just wanted to know if you're still willing and able

To listen to this form of divine communication 

And some of its inspiring and maybe life-changing implications 

To help improve your mental health 

Or if you just want to sit alone

At some fear-filled table

For the company

You keep in these dark covid filled days 

Of empty but so many disturbing lonely moments

Are so important  

For that new company could appear to be great true friends

On the surface to your face

But they could also be simply gaslighting robots and depots

And who 

If it's good advice you seek

You should stay away from 

Like in Sodom and Gomorrah

That biblical tale about that courageous soul called Lot

If you really need my help 

Light a candle and say my name three times

Then blow it out 

Montserrat 

hear my call

Montserrat 

hear my call

Montserrat 

hear my call

So be it

And I'll appear to guide you out of your pit of desperation 

But only if you swear on your soul

A solemn declaration to honour and to my wishes submit

Wherever you go
