Once the way was opened
Held in awe
Beheld a wondrous tree
Glimpsed the forbidden fruit
Startled by the serpent
A curse uttered
Words not meant for she
Shamed and Saddened
Gift thought spurned
Cast from the Garden
Encased by walls of the past
Beating upon the stone
To no avail
Entrance denied still
With each push
Thicker do boundaries become
Waiting for times turn
Walls to become dust
Then and only then
May I catch sight once more
Of Edens beauty
