It was in the garden that I woke up from a deep sleep.
And I touched my side and realized that I was missing something.
But then I saw her….
I looked into her eyes hoping to stay awhile.
Searching beyond the surface with a soulful purpose,
But I got back a stare as if she didn’t care, unaware of what I had to share.
She wanted that temporal feeling when I was trying to get eternal healing.
But at times I settled just for the touch, though it never amounted to much.
Then she left the garden, and my heart hardened.
Now this pain in my side intensifies,
As I wait for that somebody to return to my body, for from the rib of man came woman.
