reposting this here because I don't know if I should post it to junerayne but I still want it backed up somewhere.

Notes: This is my first erasure, so I hope I did the awesomeness of the genre justice. It's short, but hopefully gets the point across. I only took the first portion of the original fic and erased it, because that's what felt right. The headings are my own additions, but that's just to differentiate between the two sections.


now

he has faith.
logic, Faith and reason bring him to action
glory
power and love
to act on them;
blasphemy

a dangerous yearning
etched with pride
he could accomplish so much
( it is not his place )
if he were
God


then

angels are soldiers of God, purpose and
righteous fury
What else?

Castiel
as if he were strange;
a previously unrealized creature.
There’s hesitance there
appears as fire
steel wings

Yes, there is a divine plan. Yes, God is absolute. Yes, there will be peace. Yes, there are plans for you.

Yes, you will be rewarded with paradise

Castiel,
unexpectly;
a subtle shift in perception
the word of the Lord.
radio static and hissing water
you must trust me

yes. He does what he’s asked
the heat
o f h e l l
the impossible;
he is saved.

this
may be the most important thing he has
ever
d o n e

He has faith.
