The Garden




            Once, Eden was situated

            near the confluence of four rivers …




            You imagine a walled garden,

            a sacred grove,

            a threshold between worlds.




            You grieve the legacy of exile

            enforced by cherubim and fiery sword –

            but these create a curious misdirection.



            You must abandon the consolation of place

            and journey inward –

            an oasis awaits

            hidden in the spaciousness of your heart.
