Serpent - a Pleiades

Somewhere through Eden’s leas skulks our forgotten foe. Seraph of God, now a slithering trickster who swayed Eve to taste vile fruit. Salvation fell away; sin dwells in mankind’s heart. 4/21/2021. Written for Kim Merryman's Pleiades S contest.

The snake, for God's sake, was on the make. He was after Eve, and the Garden of Eden lives pleasurably after. lol. Wink, Wink ~ Gershon
