walked hand in hand like sister and brother.

      The mystery of voice was tantalizing

      And they spent many days speech analyzing.

      Together they attached meaning to each uttered sound:

      For events mundane, for adventures profound.

      Together they would taste the rain,

      Watch the moon on the wane.

      Together they were awed by the golden sun,

      And chirped with the birds just for fun.

      They climbed the branches of the linden tree

      Whose heart shaped leaves were poetry.

      But the simian branches, now in the dozens,

      Evoked tenderness and joy in their human cousins.

      They gamboled like deer from place to place

      And copied the gorilla in fond embrace.

      Colors Eve saw in poignant hues:

      Ambers, crimsons, and azure blues.

      These were the colors of the fire on the hill

      Which they daily watched just for the thrill.

      One day they put a squash inside the heat

      And found the squash warm and tasty to eat.

      They discovered what else can be done by the fire:

      Melt things, fuse things, and make wet things drier.

      Every day was another epiphany,

      Revealing God’s Creative Supremacy.

      There was so much to learn of God’s Sacred Plan

      By Eve, the woman, and Adam, the man.

      Adding words to their vocabularies

      Blessed Creation’s awesome Mysteries.

      How fragrant was the bed of spices

      Step nearby and it entices

      Each to taste the cinnamon, curry, thyme, and cloves

      And to learn how to grow such treasure troves.

      Their ears were filled with all kinds of sounds.

      Like the crying of cats, the yelping of hounds

      Whispering trees, and palm fronds clacking,

      Hands clapping, wet lips smacking.

      Birds chirping; stomachs burping,

      Horses neighing; donkeys braying.

      Lions roaring; ruminants bleating;

      Water pouring, elephants eating.

      Adam blew wind into the horn of a ram

      Trumpeting a sound that awakened his lamb.

      Eve cut thickets and twisted their vines

      And decorated Eden in exquisite designs.

      The Sun shone by day warming the land;

      At night Moon and Stars glowed by God’s Command.

      Day was the time to learn and see;

      Night was the time for ecstasy.

      They gathered old leaves into a heap

      And lay upon them preparing to sleep.

      Adam reached for Eve’s curly hair,

      Smoother than silk and twisted with flair.

      His fingers lingered on her swanlike neck

      And his tongue licked a speck

      Of pollen from an apple tree

      That had been overlooked by a honey bee.

      Eve placed her hand upon Adam’s head

      And ran it through his hair of red.

      Adam caressed Eve’s little ear

      And kissed her eye trickling a tear.

      At long last their mouths invented the kiss

      And then they discovered the meaning of bliss.

      The evening was cool and both trembled with chill;

      They embraced one another and twisted with thrill.

      They quivered;

      They shivered.

      Their hearts skipped a beat

      And soaring in both were surges of heat.

      Their love reached higher than the linden tree’s crown

      Whose trunk was softer than eider down.

      The two warm bodies combined as one

      And what was begun could not be undone

      His manly stamen, now tumescent,

      Planted seeds inside her unfolding crescent.

      First they communed

      Then they swooned.

      Together they sang of their moment sublime

      That transcended Space and surpassed Time.

      And they gave thanks to God who Gave life

      To Adam, the husband, and Eve, the wife.

      Jasmine blossoms perfumed the air

      And nightingales were heard everywhere.

      A host of Angels in heaven above

      Sang anthems extolling connubial love.

      And every woman, possesses the water,

      Which nurtured Eve, God’s first daughter.

      And every man to this very day

      Carries within him Adam’s DNA.

      The First Dawn

      Slowly slats of sunshine broke through the dark

      And songs of morning sprung from the meadow lark.

      Eve gazed at Adam; Adam stared at Eve

      And together they said, “For the Blessings we receive

      Thank You, God.” And at dawn they were renewed

      And from each there did exude

      Ribbons of bounty from Heaven above

      Sent to Earth from God with Love.

      And the two found it fitting to begin each day

      Thanking God in the very same way.

      And this legacy they bequeathed to all:

      Listen with your heart to God’s Loving Call:

      “Make this world a better place

      And crown it with the glory of My Holy Grace.”

      And so each day they improved Creation

      And each night they sang songs to God with adoration.

      Adam’s Fear Of The Dark

      Adam watched the white sleek frames of crowds of egrets drifting in the twilight sky,

      Ribbons of dappled crimson were turning gray.

      A fear seized Adam that he was losing his sight he had not known the night before.

      His heart beat faster than a fly’s wings; his hands were wet as rain.
