Paradise Lost
It was told that the serpent Tricked the woman And the woman bewitched The man Into losing paradise
In truth the animals were Satisfied With their innocence
The snake likely wandered into the tree To sun itself in the high branches
The woman was not satisfied She was curious and clever She knew the snake was suspected Of many things
Her favorite mouse was missing The blue birds cried over lost eggs
She stole the fruit And blamed the snake for her Nascent sin
She involved the man Drawing him tighter to her Pressing knowledge into his hand
And it was she who smiled softly as God Released them from the garden And gave them the whole wide World.
