Joshua Munyaradzi Mimana Poet Ode

Adamas

Camouflaged in nakedness 
beauty
he ate of nature's finest fruit
without dropping a sweat to 
reap

without a bleeding wound
the beasts of land and the life 
that wings 
he subdued 

Being the first begotten
the wonder incomprehensible
of a stature of absoluteness 

Love and worship came
with no tears of pain and 
sacrifice
like the infinite, he consent 
with all

The moon never brought him 
nightmares 
under darkness, was no evil to 
haunt him
from within his spirit was the 
illumine of the sun

With nature watered by dew
he never saw the skies 
overcast and
rivers smoothly find their way 
to the silent oceans

But being of earth, the heart 
weak in passion
his flesh beguiled him from 
perfection
and his soul fell to the foot of 
the tree
where drying leaves fell and 
cover his nudity off his seeing 
eyes 
and knowing the coming wrath, 
with death he coheres
