The Apple of Eden

Told are words spoken holy by thy prophet Of a seed beard by a tree planted by god A seed that made him overlook the sand that made us To chase away humanity for it’s protection A bite of the stone that made me seek greatness to my grave Became a bite of hell that made us dwell in falls faith The stone that made men build pyramids to over-stand mountains And nations to destroy others for it’s beauty The stone that builds empires And made kingdoms dig deeper Piecing the earth for the shine of it’s seeker Not realizing the prison of it’s soulful contentment The diamond Many are prophets who came To tell us she is forever Yet the boundaries of our intelligence Failed to realize beyond it’s meaning And we fell blind to see beyond the aftermath Where forever is eternal And for us, the death of imperfections on a righteous path is beyond physical (Unfold the mystery of it’s torment And build minds not dungeons! Dig Rhymes not Diamonds! Let us not dwell on the cradle And face the horizon of beyond! Forget the noise And embrace the music.) After four stanzas What most inherits our realities My words still can’t express For no ordinary, Whether notorious or legendary Can over-stand the power of it’s creation For breath exhaled by gods is visionary Word spoken made worlds tremble For the seed was meant to be pure But he loved it more than our existence And known to our minds, the can only be one living element Who dominates the heart of God Like playing a piano I discover myself with each note, each line, each verse That soul of mine, not so unique it is Like many dwell in curiosity. I too the apple my tongue would have tasted For this unordinary creation I so forever questioned An imperfect mind was too much to bear In his own image was I made But my formation deprived of the Glory An unfinished work of art That made me crave that power he forgot to hand To his own image he made with love And so I shall wake tomorrow And take another bite Of a fruit beard in a tree of life Seeking his attention Wisdom and redemption To forever know and let known To my mind, That I am not an unfinished creation. I was never In his image created, but in his reflection I was blessed. Amen
