Days upon days the rain lashed down
Drowning my beautiful flowers crowns

The grasses have grown knee high
Seemingly trying to reach the sky's

Knowingly stepping out
I will feel the rains clout

The birds are hiding in the trees
Me, walking in puddles up to my knees

What more can I say
Will I be washed away?

Nope I have a big tin tray at the ready
And a paddle to keep me steady

An adventure, or pain in the ash
Splashing down again, sorry must dash

OH NO! the tray and paddle have gone astray
Down the street I see them sway

Wait! I yell you've set off too soon
I laugh now the rain is in a swoon

Well now to end my tale
I've bought a boat with a sail

"Oh! Plenty wars, to seek, with eager men to die,
As many weaken hearts, to spread by peace, a lie,
With filled minds of wrath and empty mouths of blood,
With wicked whispers near, as far as weapons flood
The same old wrecked world where tyrants rule and thrive
The everlasting crowd – and o, alas! At last!! Who feels alive?!
The dim over the candle, which spread the lofty dreams
Among those shadows – lost – in such a sprout of beams,
The ripple softly falling, of golden cup’s beheading,
When fiercy swords are drawn, for jewels fall when shedding?..
Or maybe broken bones, for masters, and cruel laws for tyrants,
As well as lots of aces rise to crush such heap of ants,
- If not – why not?! – more stones, to build the shrines for giants
Which never seems to end the poison among plants?!..
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! There’s no one, left alive,
To tell the story further for ears that strive to listen
Such nonsense of a mirror from which the whispers glisten
Around the edges, death – this blade who guards the hive;
There’s nothing else to raise, for heads that lies beneath
A truth that’s long forgotten, replaced by some gods
Which often show at wars, to spill more blood – such odds! –
Where wrath had sunk already, like ivy changes heath;
Without a fear of dying, there’s one, among the ravens
That lurks around these realms, to mourn, to weep, to yell:
From death, to life, the bard’s awoken spirit, - look!!
Where silence seems to cure, had nothing else to tell!.."

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Adam had stood up for Eve instead of blaming her by saying it was that woman you gave me?
I mean that was a pretty ungrateful thing to say to God.

What would have happened if he took accountability...
The Bible states in Genesis that he was with her
If he could actually see the gift that she was from God to him and in turn protected her from being beguiled by Satan instead of blaming her as he did, especially as he was with her.
Plus blaming God for giving her to him in the first place.

I wonder if he had a little bit of humility, would we be in the same place as we are now?

I hope you enjoy this little playlet and it helps us reflect on our human condition.




THE ULTIMATE LOVE STORY



God: Adam, Where is eve?

Adam: My Lord she is behind the fig tree

God: Adam, ask her to show herself to me

Adam: My Lord she cannot

God: Why will she not show herself to me?

Adam: She is ashamed

God: Why is she ashamed?

Adam: A serpent appeared to her and deceived her my Lord

God: And this serpent what did he do?

Adam: He tricked her my Lord, I should have been there for her.

God: How did he trick her Adam?

Adam: He told her she would not die if she were to eat of the forbidden fruit

God: And what happened Adam?

Adam: She took of the fruit and ate, my Lord, I am so sorry!

God: And you Adam did you partake of the fruit?

Adam: After Eve partook of the forbidden fruit she offered some for me to taste

God: And did you taste the fruit Adam?

Adam: I was tempted Lord having seen Eve had not died, yet I could not partake

God: What stopped you my son?

Adam: Eve was snared and deceived I was not, I would have had to be deliberately
disobedient to eat of this fruit

God: Yes indeed Eve was tricked and deceived, It could have so easily have been you

Adam: Yes my Lord I know, that is why I beg you My Lord spare her life

God: I am so sorry Adam I cannot; the wages for sin is death

Adam: Oh no my Lord please let her live for she is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh

God: I know Adam but you both knew my law

Adam: I shall be alone lord for there is no mate in all of the earth for me, every living Creature you have set before me has its mate

God: I shall create you another

Adam: I know you can Lord but I don't want another, I want Eve

God: I know you do Adam but Eve must die

Adam: But I love her Lord

God: I know you do and so do I

Adam: So please I beg you don't let her die

God: I am so sorry Adam she has to die

Adam: Lord is there any other way?

God: Someone has to pay the price for sin

Adam: Then let it be I Lord; let me die in place of Eve

God: You do truly love her my son, then you shall take the place of Eve.

***********************

And so it was that Adam took the place of Eve, he dies that she may live & He bore her sin; yet because Adam had never sinned, death could not bind him and he was resurrected & Eve was restored.

As we are well aware this conversation did not happen in Genesis between the 1st Adam and God, Yet throughout the bible we see this interaction between the 2nd Adam and God the Father.

Unlike the 1st Adam, the second Adam being Our Lord Jesus Christ who loved us so much He was willing to bear all our sins to restore us back to His Father.

By one man the human race fell

And by one man the human race is restored

God is calling us to love like this, for there is no grater love than a man lay down his life for another. ©

Because of you, you make me smile, you make me laugh and you make me cry.

Because of you, I can be a better person and I can be myself.

Because of you, I can let go everything in the past and face the future for you.

Because of you, I can stand on my own and do what is right for me.
I can find my self stay with you for the rest of my life.

Because of you, I can endure the pain in my heart and you give me strenght.

Because of you, I want you to be happy. I can give up everything for you. Because I love you.

I'll set you free like a butterfly, you'll find your way to your future. Give you freedom to be happy and find what is good for you.

I'll set you free because I'm not worthy for you, I cannot give you happiness and life that you want me to do for you.

Find the future what is right for you without me. I'll set you free because I love you.

Spread your wings like a butterfly, fly high and find your destiny.
Even if it cause pain in my heart,
I'll set you free.

To speak of love


“There must be love! There must be love!
It seems I hear my soul, with distant echoes;
Each blade of grass, here, in these meadows,
Is like a story foretold of all of the above –
To speak of love; - so easy, comes for them!
When trembling in the wind, for my behove,
A symphony reveals the emptiness I chose
For such a bliss, to fill a dying stem;


There must be love! There must be love!
And then, my heart awaiting their refrain,
- So eager, longing for a soothe where to depose
A frozen rose, - in sealing my true love;
For it, I have no words, nor speak in vain,
As silence sweetly carries off the painful dew,
In which above my dying muse to whisper:
I love you!..”

In a photo, on the roadway,
On a bus or car or plane.
Do you see ME? Am I what you think?
Clearly envisioned, even when you blink?
The ME that you see, may not really be
The true representation of who you’d hoped
So don’t be afraid to look deeper.
The search for the ‘truth’ is never just a quick grope
In the dark; it’s hidden behind a few layers.
Let your search be certain, let your eyes look deep.
Not just admire the surface, but also see what’s beneath.
The ME that you see isn’t all that there is…

One can never ask
For such things as
When we are given
The right time and
The right place perhaps
We were fortunate then
We are fortunate now
We’ve known each other
For a long, long time
Since before we were born
Since before the grave
How else can we describe
The life we were given
The childhood memories
Growing up on the same street
Living next door to each other
Playing with our matchbox toys
In a pile of sand
Left over by the plow
There were spring tulips
And tender green meadows
And our summer gardens
Then the stiff leaves rustling
In the chilly fall air
The big snowstorms brewing
And our snow forts
The street lights burning
Above our blue igloos
There was you my friend
And there was me

When the stars forget it is night
and the air is carved open with scent
then I shall lie with you
as the fields lie open
each gesture a gift
to spurn parting of ways
for on this day
contentment has found me
all the hours pass
like wandering dunes
the sea forever plays
a shanty to our rhythm
to this we must belong
