With an Eye toward Eden
Manage episode 288658019 series 2881437
With an Eye toward Eden,
She sits alone.
Her mind a garden
Filled with muses blooming,
Dripping nectar in aromatic words
For the quill-like tongue of the Bee,
Who inquires of its chambers,
Sips its mysteries,
And reposits honey for progeny.
-"With an Eye toward Eden" written by James Robert Kibby
