In the beginning of time
A perfect garden was created
With beauty untold
Where sin was not a thing
To be found
In that sinless world
Man and animals harmonized
With nature in a song of perpetual
Purity and joy, as God walked
Among them in the breeze of time
Planted by the hands of God
The Garden of Eden
Blossomed with trees, flowers
Birds and butterflies, too
While a river kept it green
It was a home for Adam
To work it and care for
With a command
You must not eat certain fruit
Or you will certainly die!
Who else had heard it
If not the cunning serpent
With ideas not so good
To confuse and misguide
The mind of man?
Not a sound, not a cry
They came to take Him away
In violent disarray
In the night while in the Garden
Gethsemane, that was
In intense prayer
While sweat like blood clots
Ran down His face
Swords, clubs, torches
To lighten into the dark
Of the mob’s coward way
They came, Jesus, we want
I am He, He replied
At His voice, they fell
backward to the ground
Their strength gone.
With a kiss He was marked
For trials by the authorities
Of crimes not committed
The verdict by Rome
Not guilty of the charges
Crucify Him, others cried
Rome’s deaf to the truth
Listened to the mob’s voice
Cesar, Cesar, our king
Away with Jesus
Crucify Him, crucify Him!
Pilate scourged and whipped Him
Mercilessly by the hands
Of his soldiers, one by one
In a spectacle of cruelty
Disgraced and guilty
How can it be defined?
Obscurity of the mind
No beginning, no end
Forever and ever
Grey cells wonder
This thing was, it is
And will always be
The song of eternity.
Like a sea roaring
In the tempest
In its immense power
Rocking the waters
With wrath at its best
Embracing the earth
As if one with it
Uniting it with the sky
In the horizon
Sea and earth meet
East the birth of a new day
West hello to the night
As eternity waves its banner
Existing in a forever span
A day, 1,000 years
A 1,000 years, a day.
Five letter word
Sought by the world
And everyone I know,
Runs swiftly bringing
The essence of joy
To the hearts
Who cries day and night
Peace, be my Light.
As food is for the body
So, peace is for the soul
Reflecting its glow.
Peace calms the storm
And lifts men to shore
Fear not, I AM!
His word, like a balm
