Eden: Scene III
Act 0, Scene –3 : Eden, Immediately before The Fall
Eve reacts to Adam’s reaction to Eve – Divine Cause and Effect.
Man, for weakness has a name, should have been left … alone.
ADAM
Tall and slender
Quiet Man
Piercing eye
Gentle hand
Need unspoken
Deep inside
Pledge unbroken
Self, denied
Asks for nothing
Wants for much
Aching for
A tender touch
Human, Nature
Soul and Strength
Emerging in a
Fateful length
Of time to which
There is no cure
That purity
Can long endure
A choice unfair
A force too hard
For one who cares
To disregard
A whispered word
Deceptively kind
From somewhere deep
Inside her mind
Condemns us all
To bliss and then
Eternal fall
For serving man
Exit the Right Hand of God … Enter players.
