Revisiting Garden of Eden
Blest to behold Edenic paradise
Marked with grace, perfection never denies
My heart, awe-stricken, keeps on marveling
Wondrous nature wrought by Creator* Wise.
Mountains tower presenting grandeur height
As summits kiss clouds for celestial flight
Firmament lights witness the covenant
To exalt Designer's glorious might.
Flower terraces boast of vibrant blooms
Wafting redolence toward heaven zooms
Roses of Sharon greet waving Dahlias
Lilies of the Valley smite gloom that looms.
Ushered to Mother Earth’s orchard with bliss
My soul basks under fruit tree-canopies
While feasting on sweet orchidarium’s scent
Enthralled by herbal garden I can’t miss.
Cascading waterfalls of crystal gleam
Offer refreshing glow midst hope-filled beam
Reviving faith for serene service zest
To ripple along flowing freedom-stream.
*Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
