The Power of Petition

In the beginning, the couple was united Flowing with no regard to decision The fluid motion of word and deed Created living without division ~then came the split~ When he laid eyes upon her beauty A deep fire stirred within his soul A yearning that compelled him to reach And unite, but never again, be whole ~something different, yet familiar~ Enthralled with each others form They explored and played with innocent wonder Discovering preference and choice Til assumption made a very rude blunder ~he leads, she follows~ Never before had direction and order Been discussed between the unified two The separation had brought to light There is choice in everything you say and do ~personal responsibility~ He knew the order, she wanted choice Feeling powerless without a say He walked with the Creator And she was supposed to follow His way ~no one asked~ The exploration of need is unnecessary A walk in the park to play Everything essential to living, provided Given without a choice or intention to go a different way ~except THAT tree~ The lure of forbidden drew her near As want flamed anew in their heart No reference of death had ever been Nor creator and creation ever apart ~soooo, maybe, yes~ With difference present among same And forbidden constantly there The pull of promise and something new Brought the united to share ~in lack~ She watched in horror as man gave an account Blaming God for giving him a flawed creation She ratted out the beguiling serpant For daring to give her a desirable invitation ~to experience free will~ Humanity has come full circle With 7,000 years to hear the woman's heart cry It is rude to use power and position To decide without an inclination to vie ~for passion~ Women united say, "Fight for me" Value and worth are conveyed in a question What would you like to happen Let us be united in our flow's direction ~in love~ Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-24-2018
