The Serpent in the Garden

The garden
Majestic, beautiful, peaceful
Sun showers raining over green
Tranquility, harmony
Nothing knows of hate
Nothing knows of fear
All is love and love is all
The garden is shelter
Harboring all
The serpent lurks,
And waits for its prey
It crouches at the door
Of knowledge
The woman
Deceived, takes a bite
The man
Deceived, takes a bite
The door of knowledge is open
And the serpent is revealed
With knowledge came fear
And realization
They could never return again.
For the gate was closed
Guarded by heavenly swords
Engulfed in the flames of a thousand suns
