Word
Spoken in
The darkness,
Warm light soaking
The formless surface.
A
Hand
Scooping
Up waters,
Separating seas,
Placing buds on trees.
A
Bird
shaded
With vibrant,
Colored feathers
Resting on a cheetah’s back.
A
Breath
Into man’s
Lifeless nostrils,
A sidekick fashioned
To tend creation, to cherish.
A
Walk
With the
Lord through
The garden, admiring
The wonderful work of his hands.
A sidling serpent whispers,
A curious ear listens,
An enticed eye gazes,
A selfish hand stretches,
A watering mouth gnaws,
A foolish soul mate shares.
Their eyes are opened.
A string of leaves sewn up,
To cover naked shame.
A tree to hide
Behind from
The great
I am.
An accusing finger points
Towards his wife.
A livid retort
Can't cloak
The truth
From
God.
A sorrowful snake slides
Out on his dusty belly
Into nettles, weeds
Wilting flora
And prickly
Thorns.
An aching muscle, days
After picking fruit
Now develops.
A lethargic
Misery
Sets
In.
A disappointed, far away
Tone resounds in the
Almighty’s voice,
Their intimate
Bond now
Broken.
Cherubim with flaming swords
Separate paradise from
The impure, and
Outside of the
Garden, Adam
Weeps.
