Magic Garden
There used to be a magic garden.
Where everything was so grand.
Why there was no prettier place to be found.
The river that ran through it was the river of life.
There were two special trees that were there.
One was the tree of knowledge.
And the other was the tree of life.
This was a very peaceful place.
Where every thing there was as happy as could be.
There was nothing but joy through out the garden.
Till man did what he ought not.
Now we have this garden no more.
For there is a angel that stand’s at the gate.
To keep man out of this garden.
You know it is a shame that we have lost,
So very much that was freely given to us.
Then the things that we have left,
We carelessly just let go by.
Without even taking the time to see them
I sure hope that we don’t lose anymore,
Of God’s gifts that he has given unto us all.

I really like this one lots. it says so much, not just about the garden but life in general and the way man has no respect left for the older ways, the element...life itself. bravo!!!!

Outstanding!
Man will never change...greed,power...that is why magick is scarse
And war is all they know.
Such is life and no matter who or how many would rise to shift the balance,thier effort is for not..
I love poems about humanity and I thank you sharing such a masterful piece!

Rose this is beautiful.. but I think the opening should be used to be.. not use.. plus the writing is a wee bit tiny for this background.. but hey that's just my old eyes.. both words and background combined make a beautiful write:):)

wonderful write here...
you sure captured the essence of the Garden of Eden...
though i believe the story may be much more than we've been told all our lives, and what most really believe...
just my thoughts here...
interesting points you make here!

taking Biblical knowledge and giving it the touch of the layman is a wonderful display of respect for that reverent and also that mortal.
Well done.

You made a lot of good points...all the anti conservationalists...condemn them. Good way of putting it, I am saying very good. -
Too often it seems that we might overlook those things that should, or could mean much. I hope that the gifts of this world are here for a long long time.. Love the background on this it so peaceful...
