Least of Eden

homesick dreams

fly with angels

where they were born

                        they’ll never die

so she said…

                        like indian summer

                        was almost asleep

                        serendipity drummer

                        loud colors creep

                        memory awaken

                        future too late

                        dream not forsaken

                        well worth the wait

as they slept

lying close beside each other

in separate beds, rooms, lives and universes

their spirits rose up together and danced, laughing

wondering how long mortal arrogance

would keep them apart from the eternal One

somewhere…

                        least of eden

                        the splinter of our malcontent

                        always forgiven

                        discovers grace in banishment

jwl

of course they were cast “east of eden”.  and my “play” was about the least of eden.  now who could that have been?  reliable and overworked eve?  or maybe adam’s other wife?  or adam himself?  and how ‘bout that “splinter of our malcontent”?  was that cain?  forgiveness and redemption always got a lot of airplay in my early day.

i love this and hope others enjoy reading it as much as i did writing it.
