No, We Are Not in Eden Anymore


No, we are not in Eden anymore.
We left Eden sometime after childhood.
We inhabit our home-made little universes
That time and circumstances closed to some.
Even though we may become nostalgic for the old,
The present is far too entrenched.  The dual serpent of the
past ever works, coiled in the dungeon.  It binds in the deep
Like a vice-grip for those who would escape but cannot.
We are not in Eden anymore, maybe nevermore in the earth plane.
Yet Wisdom the Diligent ever seeks to “pick up the fragments that
Remain, that nothing be lost.” Not all mutual existences want to
Be counted as a vicious, vain, vein of vanity.  The Salvager
Seeks to sew pieces that will, back together again, in that place
Where the dual mocker and instigator lurks not in wait to agitate.
No, we are not in Eden anymore; yet it still exists
In the mind - intact and beautiful, with the missing one.
No, we are not in Eden anymore.
