Written to fulfill Fundamentals of Poetry - Lesson 3
Oh could we see, beyond the veil
The life for which we do travail
Perhaps the view disclosed would show
The truth we sought, when young, to know.

The precious wisdom Adam thought
His wife, Dear Eve, to him had brought
The fruit of knowledge, apple sweet,
The wisdom God wished kept discreet.

Forbidden fruit opened their eyes
Leading them to create disguise
Embarrassed by their naked skin
They tried to hide the fact from Him.

Shamed, the Garden God bid them flee
Followed then human history
And still the final Truth we seek
Thru’ mirror dark we try to peek.

That final journey we will take,
Ultimately, our quest will sake
And then the view disclosed will show
The truth we sought, when young, to know.
