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
