Garden of Eden

Before Adam and Eve sinned, they saw the world one way. They were told not to eat of The Tree of Good and Evil or Knowledge. Plus, they had everything else. Once Satan began to tempt Eve, her curiosities grew about the Tree of Knowlegde. She began to think and feel that there was a greater power or revelation to grasp. The serpent knew that his mission was not to benefit them but for his own power to reign over the earth. After they took a bite of the fruit, quickly, levels of their innocence had fanished and areas of their mind had been involuntarily opened.

We have all had our own Tree of Knowledge that we weren't suppose to eat of. I don't know necesserily if I was Adam or Eve. Did I just take it or was it given to me? I was promised greater things but was told many times not to do it. Did I not listen because I was trying to do my own thing or was it because I had left all of that which encourage me to do otherwise?

No, it wasn't one bite but two, three, four..., either out of hunger, more out of routine. One time I was even forced to eat. I just threw it back up. It concerns me now. No longer can I look at a beautiful tree and my imagination involuntarily sees beyond my physical eye. Now all I see is just a tree and nothing else unless I force myself to.

Spiritual Blindness

My spirit foresees the chains and locks approaching.
There is no existence of a key.
She whispers with urgency
to turn and just run.
She pleas for me
to ignore my emotions and flea.

At the moment, my body paralyzes as I stand.
I become ignorant of my circumstance.
Instead of being brave,
my eyes blur from unsettling clouds
that turns to rain.
The wet droplets travel out of fear to pain
to kiss my lips.

Yet in still, knowing what to do,
I can not find the courage to leave.
I am warned a great fate in coming.
My eyes can not see what my spirit sees.
