A strange beauty


After Genesis 3:1-19

A strange beauty
the tree possessed,
shimmering in the light.
a shimmering so intense
that it beckoned, singing
its song, its promise,
its fruit so enticing,
so forbidden.
A hand reaches,
the fruit is touched,
plucked
tasted
eaten
consumed

The eyes open
the heart closes
