Gardens
One is planted to glorify creation.
There is a tree
in its center,
full of life.
From the dust comes man,
and beside him a mate.
But serpents speak here,
and some fruit tastes of evil.
Another is planted to glorify defeat.
There is a tomb
in it's center,
empty for now.
From the rough hewn cross
of Roman death
comes the crushing heel,
and the fruit of salvation.
