Oh Eden! What have you done
Eyes find pleasing what they see.
Tongues find filling what they taste.
Ears finds calming what they hear.
Flesh finds soothing what it feels
To my eyes, I saw every tree
And it was pleasant in my sight
That edible yellow mango
And the juicy fruit from the melon
The fragrant smell from the queen at night.
I came to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear coming through my ears
The son of man discloses a name to an animal
He feeds him and eats of it himself.
He strolls and strolls under the quiet scorch of the sun
His legs drew closer and closer
To the midst of the garden
A tree of life with shimmering leaves
Of purple gold under the morning sun.
A canopy of leaves hails a valley of coolness beneath its leaves.

A need to rest, he sleeps
A rib to make, he needs.
The first said it all, and he knew her.
If only he knew, what that love can be…
"Take," she fed him, a tree against it, warned not she
From the midst of the garden,
Another stood there still.
A tree of knowledge of good and evil.
All at once.
I came to the garden alone
While the dew is no more on the roses
And the voice I hear coming through my ears
The son of man hides from shame, a naked proof
By the midst of the garden
A tree of knowledge of good and evil
Magnificent branch and trunk of juicy fruits, missing one.
What have you done? The earth stood, but what is your reward?
The need to save, the price to die
Oh Eden! What have you done
Genesis 2:9 KJV
“And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”
