EDEN:

In the beginning of time, when the long days were lazy,

When old pods cracked in the sun & morning´s were hazy,

In the place where seeds ripened, petals fell & leaves flew,

Where all was new, that was the place where I met you.

The place where sunbeams shone on the belly of the babes,

Where baobabs kindly offered shade to valleys & the glades,

Where the far off rumble of distant thunder & old skin drum,

Leaves expectant nature, breathless, waiting & silently dumb.

In rivers, where underbelly of crocodile & life were ever soft,

And birds of prey lifted victims, soaring up high, away & aloft,

That place where barbel leap, frogs sing & sleepy hippos yawn,

It was there I met you, in the new-quiet-time´s gentle dawn.

We met where slithered dust was disturbed by hoof, & claw,

Where each dribbling jaw & maw vied in screech & irked roar,

Where rain was the distant memory of a past & fleeting storm,

That place, where from old dust, every creature took its form.

I got to know you, in that far-away-place, of long & distant time,

Where nature sings & moves, towards the words of poet´s rhyme,

That place that Angels baptized & where our God created new,

I looked into your eyes & saw that you were me & I was really you.
