#seraphic

I've been learning to harvest clay and I used my very first batch to write something in Proto-Seraphic! It was a writing system originally meant to be written in clay so I'm very glad it came out so clear. On the left is the unfired tablet and the write is the fired tablet. It ended up cracking and breaking (first time firing greenware whoops) but I don't mind because it gives it an archaeological feel to it!

I wear many faces, which is mine?

The smiling one or the one where the devil dines?

The devil's whisper tempts me to reveal,

But the seraphic one always insists on driving my wheel.

The battle rages, yet I search for peace,

Which face should I choose, and which will I release?

The spirit advises me to love and heal,

While the devil apprises me to become mean.

The angelic one says to love all and sundry,

The devil screams, "WHO WILL LOVE YOU TRULY?"

The world says, "Oh, wow, you are so quiet,"

They don't know what storm is forming inside.

I am tired, I have cried,

I don't know which emotion to leave and which to ride.

I search for answers in the mirror's gaze,

Someone's swearing to love and embrace.

A demonic voice hisses again, "Choose this, and you will fail,"

My heart leaps with a sudden jolt.

There's no time for any mourn,

The thunderbolt strikes, and I am reborn.

The demon will help me to conquer and reform,

Now the satanic sits upon the throne,

Commanding storms, making enemies groan.

To the seraph, he murmurs with a shadowed grace,

"You're too naive for this brutal place.

Let me cleanse it, purge its cruel facade,

Then come, wear your crown— and rule with awe."
