Exhilarating Freedom

Creation, God, Life

His body had an exhilarating freedom,

no deficiency,

no blemishes,

smooth as a new born,

almost like an illusion,

an after thought,

an everlasting impression,

a secret confession

of perfection,

God called him Adam,

the boy stared back,

as if God had something he lacked,

but God didn’t know what to believe,

he thought for a moment, smiled,

then he created Eve.

I have often wondered at the separation between creation of Adam and Eve... Why not simultaneous creation? It's not like God wouldn't have anticipated Adam's need. I wonder if it was for Adam's benefit - for him to realize nothing else would ever do. In any case, the poem is wonderful and captures the excitement and newness of fresh creation.

A pure delight- the words flowed naturally -excellant use of rhyme - a flawlessly executed poem. And I loved the storyline- put a huge grin om my face- did I say that this was a pure delight- a forever favorite of mine....
