Grandma Never Told Me About Volcanoes

Grandma never told me in her stories How the volcanoes are formed. Grandma's God created only good things The green, the sun, rivers, life... God created Adam's and Eve's heart From the calmness of Pishon river. * But without nobody knowing Fires started erupting in their hearts. Life is like a river on fire these days Do you feel something burning inside you? Small or big, yellow or red... It’s burning, but we all show a calm volcano face. Volcanoes opened their heavenly calmness To embrace the pains and flames of our tears... Ages together it’s embracing our confessing hearts, Grandma never told me about volcanoes... ----------------- Note - The Pishon is one of four rivers (along with Hidekel (Tigris), Phrath (Euphrates) and Gihon) mentioned in the Biblical Book of Genesis. In that passage, these rivers are described as arising within the Garden of Eden.
