The Shores of Alone

I am Eve
reaching blindly toward the fruit
always longing for one more taste
arms outstretched to touch the edge
of desire.
Closer,closer,
the haunting shadow of your love
remains elusive
The bulging tree of knowledge
offers such tantalizing
appetizers
but never the whole thing-Oh no.
Sweetness trickles over my lips
but my hunger is not sated.
Come, bend just a little
you hold such a heavy burden
let me have some of it
let me have all of you
and you will grow in the knowledge
of love
and I will take you with me
to the outer limits
of the garden.

It was in that very place in the garden, that I fell apart. Wonderful writing.

Yes, without Eve's sacrifice none of this, none of us would be here. The plan would never have been implemented, none of us would be able to seek higher glory, and there would be only two in the Garden. She gets such a bad rap most of the time.

Catalina....The only "safe" time to read this is early in the morning....and even then, one feels the need to focus on the transformation that occurs from "reaching blindly"...to the later assertion, the later promise that one will "grow in knowledge". The want to re-read it underlines the fact that you really have captured that moment in time. Quite well written. Thanks for sharing. Bob PS Now, about the Lord walking in the COOL of the day.

Sandra,
    Beautiful, and one of your most incredible works by far.  We have to keep dreaming of that garden.  Your visions of that elusive paradise paints an even deeper longing to the reader, and gives us all hope that it can exist...
          Love,
             Elise
