Simply being,
Adam and Eve
before the fall of man.
Void of intrusion of thought,
fear and doubt
were not alive and well.
In step with God
brought might
of tranquil peace.
No wants or needs
were present,
for God knows all.
Why leave paradise?
Naive children
never knowing deception,
embraced and considered;
opening mind to doubt,
welcomed fear.
Never walking without God,
unaware of pain.
God given gift, to create
was tool of destruction
built upon lies,
accepted by children.
Simple children,
once accepting:
walked out of step with creator.
Stumbling, creating
an unbalanced
imperfect world,
spiraling cycle.
Within, a flicker
of peace that leads to Eden.
Chasing the footsteps
of God,
clinging
to the deceptive mind.
against the current
walks humanity,
unable to find paradise.
