Tale of Two Trees

Long ago, before,
All divisions came to man
Two trees presented
One to Know and One to understand

LOVE ran freely
Between connection lines
Bringing TRUTH to heart
Directions from Divine

Spiritual beings
A top both trees
Guiding and revealing
The GOD who sees

When order changed
At the loss of trust
Knowledge split
To explore the meaning of lust

Black as night
Bright as light
Balance now the goal
Left to wander
Eating lightening, consuming thunder
Til WISDOM makes humanity whole
