Once Upon a Time

Under the moon light we gathered; Giving listening ears to grandpa’s trembling lips, As serene dusk and silence embraced Once upon a time onsets his tip. There was the first garden of untold beauty; A gift to the first man with overwhelming privilege, In which the first sin stunk humanity; Engendering the first punishment as a badge. Did the creator miss the creature? Where else could they go in this plight? These posers came like rapture, While grandpa laughed to our naïve insight. Still, he continued with an annunciation, One Gabriel, one Mary in Nazareth; Actors of act 1 scene 1 of salvation, Here, faith steps on Everest zenith. Nine months passed to zamani’s womb, And the expected saviour came, Gold frankincense and myrrh exchanged tomb To seal Christmas fame.
