Unreachable Eden (prompt #6 text)

Peering over the edge of the world, the cool misty water makes my face wet.

Below I see the Earth the way it used to be, before man destroyed it with his greed.

Pure wilderness, mountains full of creatures we wouldn’t even recognize.

Gardens full of food are everywhere.  A place without man to monetize and destroy it.

Clean air, water and food abound.  All unreachable to man.  Man had his chance.  The gates are closed to Eden.  Eden is unreachable.

  1. I so wish we had been better stewards of this amazing planet!! All the fires in British Columbia this past summer are so horrible for the flora and fauna… what a shame!! Thanks for capturing this theme in your poem…
