the fallacy

the fallacy

beyond the understandings

of mortal men

there is the absence

of footprints in the garden

and our consciousness has yet to be spoiled

nor contained

by the boundaries

of morality

this does not go to say

there is not balance

for Karma still yet prevails

but she wears an unblemished aura

and stands naked

before the eyes of the divine

for there is not a word

for sin

again and again

we have approached it’s gate

only to cower in fear

of the perceivable unknown

yet we faintly remember such things

and we call it unconditional love

a travesty to truth

before  the advent of the keeping

of time

when weeping was not yet invented

there was but a bliss

that prevailed

in our hearts

and the song that continually played

that which the butterflies still hear

that which caused us to skip in wonder

absent of conviction

for no one judged

for there was not a need

the Adam knew not of temptation

for what we call innocence

was but the way

and a serpent was but a serpent

until the children

had need to blame

so thus the story was created

aptly to cover faults we ourselves embody

for we believe not in our own eternities

sanctioned

and bound here

we cling to the myth

while soulfully knowing

we have all the truths

for that is our breath

and our understandings

of mortal me

the fallacy
