Garden of Eden

Adam then breathed in the essence of life,

Born with the earth of his Lord the Creator.

There in his eye was a land in the sun light,

Man was resolved by the rhythm of nature.

Genesis named and inspired the new creatures;

Two at a time did the first stand in line,

Once recognized by the style of their features.

All became equal as each was divine.

Butterflies formed and then found in the meadow,

Adam in person, the dawning of history.

Then with their wings did the doves of his heir,

Crown him in silence with leaves from a prayer.

In twilight he saw the first stars as he prayed,

Kneeling as one who was yearning for symmetry.

Angels came down to take plots from his dreams:

Beauty and truth inside out; drawn was Eve.
