The Quest Was On

The first morn’s yellow flames pulsated Over the sliver sky’s infinite flank. Adam, the blessed father of mankind, Opened his wheat-toned eye lids; Garnished with golden lashes, And the delicate membrane gave way To the heavenly light and air to begin Their mission in due skill with senses ! Proclaiming and praising the splendor Of The Merciful, and expressing gratitude Did he bow on the season-less ground, While The Bountiful had his mastery Explained to the Angels and ordered To prostrate before His new creation! All , save Satan, did instantly obey the Lord, While the soothing glory of the lofty house Witnessed that ecstatic occurrence ever; Though the epic malice unto man Was instilled by the Outcaste, Man’s Quest had its run ‘ON’ since then.
