Evolution? What is woman? /3rd Place Winner, Outlaw Poet's Weekly

The ripened fruit trees sway in the distance.
A man finds his way into the Garden Of Eden.
Without knowing he has come there,
he speaks in a loud voice:
Find me a woman in all my despair.
God explains,
I need for you to take the jaw of an ass and
hold it to the light, thus God will see fit to
give you a woman.

As the woman is formed in the womb of an angel,
light circles her crown
and she fondly gives the man his first kiss.
With the wind in the trees.
the woman and man romp through the Garden
as the fairies give them everything
in the world.
The lush green oasis looks like none
could own it
but them.
Without each other,
their world would shatter into oblivion
across the desert.
Each evening the orange
streaks in the sunset burn
in the man's memory.
Here was not despair, but hope, where once
he had seen nothing, his parched throat hungry
for love.

It was only after their fall from grace, that she became
the perfect woman in a world of imperfection.
Still, the fruit trees sway with their clear
message:
Now that creation had begun, woman would survive
pestilence, famine, tyranny, idolaltry,deep floods, earthquakes, hurricanes,violent
wars of military might and poverty,
evil doings and ill repute.
Nothing could stop the destruction in a world
where she sought love.
