One day to the garden shall we return,
each of us experience anew
the wonder and bewilderment
felt Adam and Eve first waking up –
one with God and His creation; no will but His.
Biting into the apple was the great sin
of breaking in two and then into pieces
the faith and unity of I and Thou,
letting into our original allegiance
and relationship the taint of the other.
One day afresh we shall look childlike
upon the world – our wonder restored,
our bewilderment savored at every turn
in this miraculous setting,
knowing God again as the Father
and ourselves as God’s blood-
flesh-and-bone brood roaming
shamelessly naked the garden.
O child of God, the breaking of the Oneness
was never real – only heartbreakingly semblant.
