Eden’s Legacy

Love began when the nakedness of Eve
Blushed into the eyes of tomorrow
Seeing the true reflection of a man’s thoughts
Before the sinful rains reigned on lonely dreamers
Awakening only to find their souls in darkness…

Flicker, flicker sparked the interest of time
Burning a smile into the body’s desire
Even though Eden’s beauty ceases to be seen
Beyond the frosted lips of lovers,
That leaves tattooed whispers of eternal bliss over the heart
To which laughter feigns to remind us once fooled
That happiness wears the disguise of flesh and blood…

Hold out your hands and receive this rock,
As payment for the world’s selfish ambitions and jealousy;
Now lift to the skies your triumph,
With the strength and tears of the faithful,
Forming a spectacular rainbow for all to see---
A promise of God’s love and forgiveness,
As He sits at the center of Heaven’s Garden.

Marcel

~ Hallelujah Amen! Glory to Him on the Highest!

My goodness, Marcel! What a rousing conclusion!

God's Loving Light,

Each line of this a favorite. So very well written, and so very well received.
