Consider God, creator of all
things, entrepreneur,
seizing an opportunity in a world
without form and void
to grow a community garden,
populating it with wildlife,
all kinds and varieties, animal,
mineral, and vegetable, even man,
appointing him as gardener, zoo
keeper, namer of everything,
Adam, and Eve, helper, wife, man
and woman in His image created,
God incarnate, in human form, His
spirit made mortal, arms
and legs, head and body, lungs and
heart and brain, blood flowing,
breathing, thinking mankind, and
Eve with him, not meant to be alone,
sustainers of all that is good and
kind, perhaps too great a responsibility,
too great to accomplish, the stress
of this new life created, God made,
perfect, humanity’s beginnings to
be carried into a distant unknown
continuing, succumbing finally to
the pressures of just living, the pressures
of this task undertaken, thrust
upon them, alone and unprepared, discharged
and expelled, left to wander, disgraced, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, cursed.
