This is an exceptional philosophical poem that is unique and bold. It gives a different view of the story of Eve, and gives it wings, blessings, and joy. Thank you Holly for a beautiful view of a time when we had wings.
Then, wisdom grew from fruit
and time was a seedling.
All creatures spoke the same,
hymns of bats, the breath of horses.
We were winged and freedom
was etched on the soles of our feet.
Pathways in the earth and sky were known,
not charted.
Now we step naked into the blazing sun.
Bare ourselves to golden rivers and the
awesome tidal thunder.

Kim, As soon as I read Holly’s poem, I was blown away. It is one of the most creative, intuitive, brilliant, and beautiful works of written art, I have ever read. It surely will make people think out of their comfort zone. I ask myself…what if? Karen 🙂
