Adam and Eve

O what a garden of delight!
This Eden of the East.
Fecundity perfected,
life of every imaginable description
in human, plant, and beast.

O what a garden of delight!
This Eden of the East.
Crown of all creation,
man and woman reflecting
God's perfect image,
chosen fruit to increase.

O what a garden of delight!
This Eden of the East.
Adam and Eve in sweet repose,
enjoyed their superabundant home,
here life would never cease.

O what a garden of delight!
This Eden of the East.
One day human curiosity with
the snake's twisted words, robbed
Adam and Eve of peace.

O what a garden of delight!
This Eden of the East.
The forbidden fruit was so
irresistible, the consequence of eating means
humankind is the least.

O what a garden of delight!
This Eden of the East.
Through Adam and Eve humankind is lost
in sin. Thanks to God's love, one day we
shall eternally feast.

My First Conception

This is my first
conception
of a poem and poetry
page using Tripod-Trellix
Site Builder.
Life is one
large poem ever
created and creating.
You don't have to be
a computer geek or
sci-fi technocrat
whiz to build a
web site. Although,
thanks to such
folk, we ordinary
humans are able
to function in
the world wide
Internet web.
Typing this poem
and publishing
it for the whole
world to read
in a microsecond
adds a legion of
new dimensions to
reality, the
implications of
which we've scarcely
begun to identify,
let alone spin
philosophical,
theological, and
other meanings of.
In the present, we
are pioneering new
ground; creating new
world realities with
their attendant
potential meanings,
while the same old
world will, outside
of cyberspace, not
go away. Indeed it
is, even, if anything,
larger than life
as: the rich grow
richer and the poor
poorer; along with
the lack of good
will among power
brokers concerning
the state of our
environment. Yet
is there a place for
a caring stewardship
of technology,
which is environmentally
friendly as well as
justice oriented?
An environment of
equality and respect
for everyone.
I hope so.

Second Conception

How to conceive of
another poem in the
space of a trillion
miles, minutes, seconds
milli, illi, billi, trilli,
zilli seconds. Time measured
and transcended.
What miracles
exist today in the
fullness of presence!

Advent

Advent comes.
Past, present, and future
comings merge in
our Light of the world.

Darkness forever banished,
as each lit candle
casts flickering rays
into every corner of captivity.

A child lights the candle
of hope; another lights the
candle of peace; another joy;
another love; shining everywhere.

Four weeks we wait,
prepare, amend our crooked
paths; exhorted by prophets
to open for the Messiah's coming.

Watch, look, listen, travel
the royal way to Bethlehem.
Come, worship the Christ-child with
divine messengers and lowly shepherds.

Lost in the sweet melodies
of ancient antiphons; let all
creation sing praises for the
greatest gift of God's Messiah.
