God's Orchard

A gilded orchard,
Golden grove of apple trees;
Silver roots of sin.

Awesome write as usual. Love the connection to a similar garden I have read about. "Silver roots of sin"~ this is fabulous! And with the silver and gold this one could have so many meanings behind it. Thought provoking... Smiles from Lolita

Nice reference to the book of Genesis, Raul! I might succumb to temptation now and enjoy a "gilded" apple. Awesome!
