Glorification
In the place
of freedom
of peace
of walking with God,
in the garden
of clear conscience
of flowering love,
We tried it our way
The way we thought was better
the way we thought
would give us more,
we took action
and we took innocence and connection
ending in the choking
glorification of self will,
our words our choices
suffocating life with God;
that the fullness of our thoughts
could be better than God’s
obvious and unsearchable thoughts,
that all our knowledge and choices
were the full story
were eternity’s perspectives
were God’s love expression.
We swapped truth
for pieces of truth
and smallness of truth.
The loss of paradise.
Starting Thoughts:
Paradise where humankind explored and made choices about self, knowledge, truth, innocence with decisions. Eden a place that we all start from in a sense and a place of innocence.
