We mourn for it back.
Edenic paradise and perfection,
Lifted to our lips
Like a sparkling cup of wine:
(That we have never experienced)
Life, perfection and oneness with God.
**************************************************************
But we are here.
Beyond Eden- abruptly deposited;
Bourne by our own sorrows and fears
To drink the cup we ourselves have poured:
The dregs of humanity:
(We cry as we drink and remember a sweeter nectar
That we have never tasted)
Life, the new reality and separation
*************************************************************
Somewhere, we know, a newer, truer reality
Awaits our numbed senses.
Memories of Eden haunt.
Reality is,
But a Paradise far greater
Calls across the abyss of separation
(And we cry as we remember and look forward to the day
When the memories of things unexperienced become reality
A reality far greater than what now is)
Jesus, Heaven and oneness with the God of love
Love this…. such a poignant reminder of the longing my heart has for Eden, the place I’ve never been but for which I was created.
