Once again to the Paradise Lost dear friends


01  “Raphael” the name, distant memories turbate,
02 Into night disappears, left  pondering our fate.
03  Straining to see him, it dawns of his part,
04  No accidental visitor, we remain in His heart.
05  I return to damp fug, of interior darkness,
06  Eve’s horse cough symbolises sadness and stress.
07  At least we’re together chained perhaps but as one.
08  Many years have passed since that error was done.
09  Where together we shared in openness and truth.
10  Rich lives, vivid experiences, vibrant and new.
11  We jumped from a cliff top into a deep pool below,
12  Holding tight to the other knowing intimate glow.
13  As looking to the sky with wonder and praise,
14  Sharing triune intimacy, for the rest of our days.
15  I am Adam, you are Eve, we know no other,
16  Comparison irrelevant, you're my sole lover.
17  But why were we made with this deep fatal flaw?
18  Set an impossible challenge with an impossible law.
19  With failure comes suffering, two dear sons both gone,
20  Paradise unrighting, all goodness goes wrong.
21  And now I am frail, and frailer for knowing,
22  The scale of our loss, I hear Satan’s crowing.
23  Surely God sees we lack necessary steel,
24  And to devious challenge, our weakness would yield.
25  But Raphael not accepting, indeed rebuts this trial,
26  Asks whether I could harm and abuse my own child?
27  “The damage that’s done is not lack of skill,
28  It’s the damage to friendship by the absence of will.
29  Inconsiderate action destroys bonds of trust,
30  But weakness is accepted, your creator is just.
31  Though suffering and sorrow, now your daily blight,
32  Victory is coming, and wrong will be right.
33  Choose now to live as you did once in Eden,
34  God’s love has not changed, still offering freedom.”
