Adam

Theodore Zendarski

Arisen from dust, life into me thrust

a copy to behold, from the best mold

at first alone, now with one from my own

destiny unknown, a garden our home

avoid but one tree, or loose eternity

deception has won, what have I done

caught in a lie, my descendants will die

but pity has shone, a new shoot has grown

my error cost dear, the accusers draw near

now naked I flee, to avoid death on a tree

  • Comment from author about the poem: The poem Adam was inspired by Mark 14: 51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind. Could it be that the young man was indeed Adam, once again hurrying off to hide knowing that he was responsible for what was to happen to Jesus? Can we picture ourselves likewise adding to the sins that weighed Jesus down?
