The Gravity in Eden

Eclipse

By BethPublished a day ago • 1 min read

maybe there’s no difference
seeing two sides of the same tree
a man discovers a woman for the first time

it takes darkness to see 
the stars that always there
then why is the sun the only exception
the forbidden is often just a veil of ignorance
looking for the light of naked truth
climbing the ancient branches of the seeds 
waiting to bear fruit within them

maybe there’s no separation of dark or light 
gravity changes according to the mass of the falling object
adam killed the serpent after it frightened eve 
learning the nature of evil 
and like gravity the changing nature of truth

About the Creator

Beth

When words aren’t enough, poetry finds a way. My poems explore life's mundane beauty, moments that make themselves unforgettable, and also dips it's toes into the philosophical attempting to understand who we are, where we came from.
