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.”
