The Fall

The One Whose very breath begets the wind,
Whose blink divides the daytime from the night,
Whose thoughts are but the engine of creation,
Could He not make Man to resist temptation?

He must have planned the war that sundered heaven,
The cause of all the strife that was to come.
Caused the dooméd seraphs to rebel,
Knew that they were lost before they fell.

Thus the seeds of sin in Man were planted
And fruited when the serpent tempted Eve.
So we, forever cast from Eden's grace,
Divinity and light would ever chase.
