Fallen Angels of Munich II - Fabian
“The hourglass garden”
Gentle wings ascend, whispering names into the dawn, calling,
And with the morning light, we present,
The symphony of voices,
Our Residents of Munich.
An angel of light left his celestial gleam.
With wings of pure alabaster, he descended,
Leaving his castle nestled among the stars in the sky.
With wings of pure alabaster, he descended,
Leaving his castle nestled among the stars in the sky.
His heart brimmed with love, vast as the sea,
Eager to share with the world, unconditionally free.
He walked among mortals, with a gentle grace,
Hoping to kindle warmth in each weary face.
Eager to share with the world, unconditionally free.
He walked among mortals, with a gentle grace,
Hoping to kindle warmth in each weary face.
Yet humanity, with eyes clouded and hearts closed tight,
Turned away from his radiance, shunning his light.
Turned away from his radiance, shunning his light.
His love, like whispers on the wind, went unheard,
Sadness touched him, a shadow across his soul,
But within his heart a truth began to rise,
A realisation bright as a new day’s skies.
But within his heart a truth began to rise,
A realisation bright as a new day’s skies.
He saw he was different, a beacon of another kind,
Not meant to change for those who are blind.
Perhaps it is the world that must shift and grow,
To learn from the light he longed to bestow.
Not meant to change for those who are blind.
Perhaps it is the world that must shift and grow,
To learn from the light he longed to bestow.
Embracing himself, he turned towards home,
To the castle of clouds where angels freely roam.
To the castle of clouds where angels freely roam.
In his heart, a seed of hope still softly gleamed,
His love, unwavering, like a star in the night,
Guided him back to his castle, to wait for the light.
His love, unwavering, like a star in the night,
Guided him back to his castle, to wait for the light.
In the gentle twilight of existence, where angels once soared with ethereal grace, they surrendered their wings to descend upon our world, becoming the silent guardians amongst us. Each feather left behind tells a tale of sacrifice, a testament to their devotion.
In the quiet strength of a mother’s embrace, a father’s steadfast resolve, a teacher’s guiding wisdom, a firefighter’s fearless valour, doctor’s healing touch, we see these earthly forms.
The project Fallen Angels of Munich captures these earthbound angels and their everyday heroism, weaving their invisible wings into the fabric of humanity. Welcome to this unique project, where wings symbolize more than feathers and light; they honor the selfless acts that uplift our world. Each image is a homage, a vivid acknowledgment of sacrifices made for the betterment of others - a poetic canvas of gratitude and reverence. This unique endeavor invites the residents of Munich to step into the spotlight, as they don on their wings, they are honored as angels, a gesture of gratitude and acknowledgment for their unwavering dedication. Beyond individual stories, this project seeks to build a supportive community, combating loneliness by connecting real people through shared experiences and narratives.
Meet Fabian.
An angel of light, cradling a heart full of boundless love. He wanders beyond his ethereal walls, yearning to touch the hearts of others with his gentle grace. Yet, his love, pure and vast, is met with cold indifference, leaving him wounded. In this quiet moment of reflection, Fabian has discerned that his radiant essence is not the problem - it is the world that must awaken to his light. With this understanding, he retreats to his sanctuary, like a star in the night, his spirit undimmed, nurturing hope that one day, his love will find its place in the hearts of those who are ready to receive it. His sacrifice and superpower? Unconditional love.
Join in celebrating these remarkable individuals, and witness the beauty of their stories through the lens of empathy and gratitude.
