Eve

Eve
First of women
To bear the self-imposed curse
Set upon us.....forever?

Sealed with lust for the forbidden
Compounded by teeth sinking
Consuming
Ignoring consequence of swallowing the bite

The fate of man confounded by the seduction of woman
Had Adam forsaken you
Choosing to
Wait
Walk
Side by side with God

Who would we be instead?

Your daughters remain
Bound
Banished
Our strenght diminished by the sin now birthed in man

Drawn to the shade under the tree
The sweet forbidden
Consuming
Conflicting
Offering a taste...

Not to the man who walks with God
Knowing he cannot be called away from his Creator

Turning to the serpent
Deceiver
Understanding fraility...alone
