From time to time a poem

I’ve been debating whether I should share this poem or not because it’s super long maybe I’ll do each part 1 by 1. I guess if I get 3 “thank you”s on it I’ll share the next one ;P
A Hero’s Journey
Part 1 - Call to Adventure
It all came of a mystery
One of Faith and Fear
What evil could ever really be done?
In the heavens as all appears
A child among the ancient
But ancients still fall prey
Who am I to know and yet
Who am I to see this way
So I spoke to things unknown
Strike me with that fear
With the faith I know in me
I am the power here
Give me all the Dark can bring
And I will bring a Light
If there is to be a hero
Here, I’m ready for the fight
A Cunning Voice said, as you will
Followed by a storm
I soon forgot what I had said
But a path already formed
I was a mere reflection
Of form still yet be
Beyond all explanation
None that anyone could see
Left behind all worried hearts
To grow one of my own
While something whispered deep within
That voice of the unknown
Life went on without me
And things I’d yet to do
Left to watch and learn at best
As all dies and is renewed
Time could pass in any speed
And I had much to do
Nothing more than anyone else
Just in a focused point of view
I saw the way and watched it close
The path always obscured
But lined in a bitter darkness
More fierce than any words
No certain merit to the journey
Nothing known waits at the end
But I am only what’s becoming
And the Hero waits within

This one’s a bit darker than most writing of mine heh. See what you guys think.
Archangels
I see you, do you see me?
No right words to know what I mean
And it all sinks down below
Enough of all the gifts and curses
We only like who gets there first
And it all sinks down below
It’s a sticky mess and tragedy
Spinning webs for fear to hide in
I can feel it in your bones
All washed up in a fast decay
A transformation held at bay
Hey I can feel it in your bones
Chorus
I know, little brother
In all the fun and games
You’re just trying to be a good snake
We started this thing together
But even if it goes on forever
We play until the last mistake
Mmhmm
I see you, do you see me?
No right words to know what I mean
And it all sinks down below
Fear and dreams, beautiful, terrible things
I’m wrapped in magic, everything sings
Just like a distant ringing from below
Bridge
But remember when we were young
Orbiting that primal sun
And everywhere we could run
Were playgrounds and battlefields
Raising light from the void
All the greatest powers were our toys
And we created and destroyed
All that we could make real
Such high winds, without, within
The turbulence to grow steady wings
Between the end and where it all began
Ancestors speaking clear
The truest illusions one can hear
Between the end and where it all began
I know, little brother
In all the fun and games
You’re just trying to be a good snake
We started this thing together
But even if it lasts forever
We play until the last mistake
Mmhmm
