RIP
Eden Once Again
Lately I've been torn
Like a ripened apple
From the tree I was born
How do I return
Like that new found bloom
Amidst the dew of Spring
The Storm and gloom?
How do I resolve this matter of fact
In one swift motion,
a single act
Like a seed once planted
In a garden
In my heart,
and soul?
To be worthy of the cause
I sit and pause
Considering my roots
The origins of my being
In God's hands I'd been
But somewhere along the way
I could not stay.
And so I wondered aimless
You could say blameless
Of my past indiscretion
As youth had claimed my passion
Today I return on a mission
To find God's Eden once again.
