Prologue

Come hither into the Garden of Eden

A paradise made by the hands of God

Where the sun is conceived from solid gold

The blue sky woven from sapphire

The forests and grasses of emerald green

And the moon of the night made of shimmering silver

Come hither into the Garden of Eden

Where the sleeping lovers lie

Within the shade

Of the tree of life

Naked together

In a tight embrace

Come hither into the Garden of Eden

As young, strong love thrives

Like a budding rose

Making love

Conceiving happiness

Underneath the golden sun

Come hither into the Garden of Eden

Where they take a bite

From the forbidden fruit

Of the harsh reality of life

Thus making their paradise

Just an illusion of ecstasy

Come hither into the Garden of Eden

Where we tell

Of their story

Of an Adam and his Eve

As their bliss

Falls to bitter ashes

Come hither…
