Absolute thoughts

Truly Adam and Eve in the Garden were misconceived.
By God...., it was We who did the dirty deed!
Perfection be not in pure Paradise gained.
But in the sinful life of everyman re-gained.

To live to live, to die to die.
Is but the Spirit in its very plight.
Hark to the Cross roads we do bend.
Carrying the heaviest burden on our Mind's end.

How now my fair Spirit lives?
According to the cares of the world lies undeceived.
What first brought forth this thought of Love to my mind's eye?
Reason, be thou faithful now I cry.
For faith also has its reasons that I do not deny.

Truly a poet I am not I plead.
But bear me this discourse as you would a creed
For life, love and truth we may in words discuss.
And to live it in reality is a Divinely human task.




In "Absolute Thoughts", a novice attempts an interpretive narrative in semi-poetic manner concerning the "Idea of Perfection". Centrally linked is the well known Biblical story of Creation wherein man's "first sin" was generally believed to have taken place, through the advent of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God. Arguably, the novice intends to subscribe to a reading that's more perplexing and consistent with John Milton's rendition of "Paradise Lost and Regained".
