The Helix of Eden

I am walking in the garden of an ancient city The walls are covered with climbing ivy of a delicate hue The dews are thick after the warm rains There in the middle, the stately statue withstands the stains Covered in ivy of a intricate green Blooms of unknown life glowing red I trace the path of last foot falls The age is broken and anew Stone is cracked crazy filigreed In the ancient courtyard I follow it down a foreign history The sun splashing though over growth Over head the winds unsettles monolithic trees Exotic birds sing songs to creation The gold, ambler, crimson leaves take flight Dripping on the weedy ground Puddling in the warm sparkling rays of a dying sun Leting it spill over me The fading green bright fresh In this ancient city of Avalon This lost garden of Eve The last empire of Adam Mans only memory Walking this spiraling path This Helix of Eden
