Reaching

It was paradise on Earth,

but he was hungry.

He looked to the tree.

It was a fiery hearth

brimming with bright fruit.

Careful not to dirty his suit

He reached for the sweetness.

Nearly every fruit was his

only one he could not have.

It was not to be his bliss,

no matter how much he gave.

Should he try and reach out ?

Or stay in and avoid the shout,

that plunge into eternal darkness!

email me and let me know what you think.
