Adam`s fall in the Garden of Eden
Adam (A Fall From Grace)
by Idamarty
I am man, formed from the earth
in the likeness of the most high almighty and ever living God who created all things. I am Adam, His most precious masterpiece. In disobedience I turned away from Him, hearkening to the voice of the deceiver; the original Prometheus who would make me an effigy of his own fallen self. I took an ego trip, believing, wanting to be like my maker, perhaps greater. As the prince of darkness spoke, his twisted words slithered around Eve`s heart spreading seeds of doubt within our souls. I did not recoil, instead I chose to have my eyes opened. Now I lay naked, exposed to myself, tainted, blinded by his lies; a forgery of the divine image, destined to become the dust from whence I came. Remembered for only a moment, by the wind that will scatter any memory of me across the earth. My Father banished me from the garden. Left me to the fruits of my own labour. The price to pay for my defiance. Now we inhabit a world shrouded in sin and corruption. Has paradise become lost? There are glimpses of what once was, if you look past the concrete and steel, past the hardened hearts, past ourselves. There is a light; radiant and resplendent in all of His glory. He came to pay the ultimate price for our transgressions. He is the sacrificial Lamb. We are the lost sheep, He is our Shepherd. We are the fallen, He is our Savior. We were condemned to die, He is the way to eternal life. For He is truth. He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. |

This poem was written as my take on Adam as he falls from grace in the garden. Eve is mentioned only once intentionally as I wanted to focus on Adam.
