ENERGY SHORT-OUT
–
This weekend the Poet fell ill,
The effects of which he feels still…
Shortness of breath,
Feeling near death,
His wheezing got so shrill!
–
Spent much of his time in bed,
Getting up every hour, he said…
Or to change position.
A conscious decision,
Keeping the C-PAP straps on his head
–Jonathan Caswell
TWO GARDENS
Adam and Eve in Eden
Didn’t have to do any weeding…
Until the day
They decided to stray,
Then fought for all they were needing.
–
A conscious decision just,
When eyes filled with lust…
For being like gods,
What were the odds
Of being then out-thrust?
–
Another garden comes to view
With another decision, too…
More conscious than the last
A die is cast,
Returning Eden for you.
–Jonathan Caswell
Bible references are: Genesis Chapter 3, and (among those in the Gospels) Mark 14: 32-42.
