Perfection

Perfection

It started with perfection.
Perfect perfection,
Not a single sign of poison.
Nothing to mar the perfection Perfection created.

It started with a decision.
A single decision,
A decision to grant choices.
Choices to grant free will to a perfect creation.

It started with a serpent.
A slinky, sly serpent,
A serpent who wanted to be great.
A serpent with a desire to trick Perfection’s beloved.

It started with desire.
Selfish desire,
Desire awakened by a serpent.
A desire to be more than an echo of Perfection.

It started with a decision.
A foolish decision,
A decision to trust the serpent
And try to reach perfection.

It ended with a bite.
One tiny bite,
One tiny, forbidden bite
That ruined Perfection’s creation until Perfection returns to the world He created.
