Adam And Eve (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Elisabeth Eybers)

When they observed each other naked for the first time,
together became aware that they were totally lost
they did hold wonderful desire for each other:
she saw him as noble and fierce, he how very beautiful she is.
Banned and bound they were to the same destiny,
when he brought her into the protection of his strong arms,
did wonder about their standing and relationship with God,
their hearts did sing fiery about their love for each other,
where together they stood alone against the world,
where their love bound them tighter with each other,
where they were entering a cruel difficult world
with a struggle against injustice in everything beautiful and sincere,
they did not forget God,
only knew about the beauty and wonder of life.
