Kathleen Austin Poet Pleiades

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.

Gershon Wolf April 22, 2021 at 5:33 PM 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
