When life began eons ago,
God had a plan He wanted to unfold,
In Eden’s womb, an eternal flow,
God breathed spirit into man,
And from him, He created Eve,
A helpmate for life, together to thrive,
A partnership and unity between,
A bond and harmony, in eternal bliss,
There, humanity’s journey began,
In that sacred place, they met God face-to-face.
But evil crept into Eden, slithering in,
Eden lost its peace, strife began,
A serpent’s whisper created enmity,
With deceitful temptation, the serpent came,
Eve now lives to rue the impetuous decision,
Adam followed, harmony shattered,
For all mankind’s innocence lost,
Eden was no more.
In sorrow and pain, they were cast away,
To toil and strive, in the harsh land stained with sin.
But God gave them a promise,
A promise of hope, wrought from God’s love,
“And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers; he will crush
your head, and you will strike his heel.”
The Savior will come, to heal what’s broken,
To bear the sins that we inherited from them,
With mercy and grace, He made a way,
For all to find redemption in Him,
Thus restoring the bond between God and man.

- Comment from author about the poem: I started this poem a couple of years back. It had five lines. It was in embryonic form. After much work, it developed into a 30-line poem conveying the message of redemption. In those lines, the last stanza, we have the promise in Genesis 3:15. Read it and please comment. Thank you.

An epic poem about creation and redemption from the fall. Nicely written
Well, I love it. Sometimes it requires a few years of thought to complete the poem. I certainly have found that to be true.
Your poem recreates the Genisis of man, between his banishment and his redemption. It relates the story in a very direct way, no frills, just truth. I enjoyed reading it very much. - Phil A.
