There was a Light in the Garden..<\/p>\n
Holy and pure.<\/p>\n
Sweet melodies rang out<\/p>\n
soft and sure.<\/p>\n
Eden: a treasure, a blessing, a gift.<\/p>\n
an endless bounty…<\/p>\n
until the Rift.<\/p>\n
How long o’er it’s paths<\/p>\n
did they tread?<\/p>\n
How many whispered wisdoms<\/p>\n
were shed?<\/p>\n
Then, there, the Tree<\/p>\n
with tempting fruit<\/p>\n
to lead astray,<\/p>\n
granting evil salute..<\/p>\n
to the one who would destroy<\/p>\n
and bring the Dark<\/p>\n
upon the world.<\/p>\n
Then, the Dark seemed to triumph <\/span><\/p>\n on another Tree. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n God was dead<\/span><\/p>\n with certainty. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But, as it chuckled <\/span><\/p>\n deep and grim <\/span><\/p>\n over the violence <\/span><\/p>\n done to Him… <\/span><\/p>\n another Garden Gate <\/span><\/p>\n opened wide.<\/span><\/p>\n The Key <\/span><\/p>\n had been <\/span><\/p>\n His stricken Side….<\/span><\/p>\n From which flowed Water and Blood <\/span><\/p>\n upon the earth <\/span><\/p>\n from Sacred Wood. <\/span><\/p>\n Before the Darkness had been <\/span><\/p>\n the light. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But, it has come back <\/span><\/p>\n forever bright. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was a Light in the Garden..
