The first lovers given perfect nest Ate fruit from a tree Forbidden truth and knowledge What is it we now know? That which we did not know then In this ancient Eden Look from the mountains to the valleys Bathe in its waters and streams Pray the rain is not a deluge Feel the mud beneath your toes Feel the earth creatures squirm As they make their way through Earth made fertile Watch the flame rush through the forest The birds take flight for shelter Cracking the seeds from pods Dropping into the earth Taking root to bloom Does Eden return or is it transformed? Is it lost forever to us all? Lay the blame where you find it Make your judgements on Adam, on Eve Right and wrong as you know it, find it Proclaim it! Do their words offend or wrong you? Make it known! Or perhaps it is that two such perfect beings Were here, loved here, found here Did the first lovers never feel pain? Threatened love Lost love Love turned sour, painful Love rediscovered The search for themselves in love In ancient caves seeking shelter Did two bodies in ancient form Carve their longing upon a wall? Did they remain as such For us to rediscover? Eden return, unlock your gates! Angels guarding, who can fight you? Are you guarding our love from ourselves? Or is the Eden that we seek to return to Hidden within our very selves For us to rediscover through a world That is not Eden at all? |
