(1) Beyond Eden Poem by Sandra Fowler
(1) Beyond Eden
Green leaves tap at my window like lost souls.
I trace their signatures upon the glass.
Dawn is only a few quatrains away.
I memorize the fragrance of spring rain.
It takes me back beyond Eden, my friends
Where Adam brushed the first tear from Eve's eye.
Stripped of their innocence, how could they know?
The last grief would be soothed by God himself.
Somewhere deep in the hills, a lyric bird
Sings of the poignancy of humanness.
The ever freshness of that ancient sound
Brings back the sun that shone aeons ago.

Intermingled in Nature when the soul sings the timeless measures of love in different births divine music reverberates through them. Dear Sandra, your poetry is superb, it stands as a class apart.
Absolutely beautiful! What a unique moment. Adam and Eve have blown it but Adam's love compels him to tenderly wipe away Eve's tear. After the fall, they were still in it together and so are all of us.

Somewhere deep in the hills, a lyric bird Sings of the poignancy of humanness......beautiful expression dear Sandra! Loved this wonderful poem. Top score! !
Beautiful poem with the biblical story in the background. Nice rhyme and meter. The image of Adam taking out the very first tears of Eve is marvellous. The metaphors of "the fragrance of spring rains" et al are captivating and speaking directly with the heart of the reader..
