Adam’s Awakening:

In the vastness of silence, I awoke—
A breath unspoken, yet the world I knew,
A land untouched, beneath a sky of gold,
With air that kissed my skin, the earth so true.
No form or face before my eyes had been,
Yet still I felt the stirrings deep within—
A call, a beckon—what am I, to roam
This endless place, this garden as my home?

I rose, and stood, alone yet not in vain,
For here I walked, in Eden’s golden reign.
The hills were crowned with emeralds of light,
The rivers danced beneath the stars of night.
Each leaf, each petal, whispered songs of old,
And every tree, with fruit both sweet and bold,
Held secrets in their shade—untold and pure,
A promise, for the earth was made to endure.

The hand that formed me from the dust, the clay,
Had touched this place, where life would find its way.
The voice of God, a thunder in the skies,
Spoke softly to my heart, to open eyes.
He spoke of duty, purpose, bound by love,
To tend, to care, beneath the heavens’ glove.
He gave me breath, and hands, and feet to roam,
A keeper of the earth, a guardian’s home.

The creatures of the earth, both large and small,
I named them all, and in their eyes did call
A bond, unspoken, deep within the soil,
A kinship born of trust, and toil, and toil.
No fear, no hunger, no regret did stir,
For I was free—both king and minister.
The air was sweet, the fruits were ripe with grace,
No thought of time could mark this perfect place.

Yet in the silence, one thought lingered long—
A sense of need, a longing, fierce and strong.
For in this land of beauty, bright and wide,
I walked alone, though I knew not why.
God’s voice, like thunder, filled my heart with peace,
But still, I felt that something must release—
This solitude, so heavy yet divine,
A part of me, untold, did pine, did pine.

And so He spoke, as evening fell to night,
A plan divine, a mystery alight:
“From you, my son, I shall create a kin,
A partner, one to share your soul within.
A helper, strong and lovely, made for you,
From flesh and bone, her heart both pure and true.”

I saw His hand, as from my side it drew
A breath—a spark—a being born anew.
Her eyes were soft with wonder, yet profound,
Her beauty, like the stars, could not be bound.
She moved, as if the earth itself had known
Her name before she walked—both light and stone.
Her skin, her form, both gentle and divine—
I knew then, in that moment, she was mine.

And so, from dust to life, from night to day,
God made her—my companion, come to stay.
Her soul was like the stars, yet earthly too,
Her heart, a flame that in my heart burned through.
She stood beside me, as the earth did bloom,
A gift, a promise, from the garden’s womb.

Together, we would walk beneath the sky,
Together, we would dream, together sigh.
In Eden’s realm, our hearts were free to roam,
Each breath a gift, each step a step toward home.
Yet even now, I felt a deepened pull,
A longing, soft but sharp, unspoken, full.
For though she walked with me, and I with her,
A whisper stirred—this Eden, yet a blur.

But now, she walks beside me, strong and fair,
And in her eyes, I see the world laid bare.
With every step, the garden blooms anew,
And in her gaze, the heavens’ light breaks through.
She is the answer to my silent prayer—
A gift of grace, beyond compare, beyond compare.

Now as we walk beneath the skies of gold,
Our hands entwined, our story to be told,
I know that this—this life, this land, this place—
Is where my soul will find its resting grace.
For in her, and in God’s eternal plan,
I know at last, the purpose of this man.

Adam’s Reflection:

I wake, and the world is around me, waiting. It is not a noise that wakes me; it is the stillness itself—a stillness so profound it is as if the world has always been in pause, holding its breath. I am, and I know that I am, though I do not yet know the weight of that knowing. There is only a space, and I fill it.

The earth beneath my feet is soft, yet solid. It cradles me, as though it has always been prepared to hold me. There is no surprise, only a quiet acceptance, and in this silence, I feel the weight of something—an unspoken thought, a half-formed longing—but I do not yet have the words to call it what it is. The garden stretches endlessly around me, an expanse of trees, and flowers, and rivers that reflect the light in ways I cannot yet comprehend. The sky above is wide and open, filled with stars I have no name for, though they speak to me all the same. And in all of this, I am alone.

I do not feel the ache of it at first. There is too much to do, too much to see. I walk among the trees, touch the soft bark of their trunks, listen to the sound of the river as it runs over the stones, smooth and clear. The animals—so many—move around me, each one with a grace that both fascinates and humbles me. I give them names, and they seem to understand, each of them bowing their heads in acknowledgment, as if they, too, know their place here in this garden, and in my hands.

I am the keeper of this place. I am its steward, its caretaker, and in that responsibility, I find purpose. The sun rises, the sun sets, and I am here, tending, watching, learning. Every moment is a discovery. Every leaf, every stone, every bird’s song feels new, as if the world itself is unfolding around me, revealing its mysteries one piece at a time. Yet in all of this—this beauty, this purpose—there is a pull, a tug at the back of my mind. It is a quiet thing, a feeling as subtle as the breeze that stirs the leaves, but it is there.

At first, I think it is the garden that is incomplete, but as the days pass, I realize it is something deeper. The land is vast, and yet, I feel the weight of its silence pressing in. The animals—my companions, my charges—are not like me. I name them, I tend to them, but they do not speak. They do not see me the way I see them. They are not my equal.

I walk among them, and I begin to wonder: if the animals are not like me, then what am I? What is the shape of my being? What am I meant for?

God’s voice comes like thunder, but gentle. He speaks, and His words reach deep inside me, speaking to a place I do not yet understand. “It is not good for man to be alone.” I feel the words stir something in me, like a seed being pressed into the earth, but I do not understand it yet. I know what it is to be alone, but I do not know if that aloneness is something I must endure or something that will change.

I think of the animals, the birds, the creatures of the earth. But it is not them. It cannot be.

“There is more,” God says. And then, He speaks of a helper, one made just for me. A partner, He says. A companion.

The words rest heavily in the air between us, like something ancient being uncovered. I am made for more than this—more than the trees, the birds, the rivers. More than simply tending. More than simply being.

The word “helper” rings through me, as if it means something deeper, more profound than I could yet grasp. It speaks of a bond, a partnership. And in the quiet of the garden, I know that this is the answer to the question I have not yet fully spoken: What am I, without her?

I sleep then, and in that sleep, I am changed.

The world around me does not change—no, the trees still sway, the river still runs, and the sun still casts its light upon the earth—but something shifts inside me. Something stirs. I feel it, deep and solid, as if the ground itself has opened up beneath me and placed me in the presence of something far beyond my understanding. I do not know yet what it is. But I will.

For now, I am alone, and yet I know that I will not always be. This silence I feel, this yearning—this is the space that will one day be filled. But not yet. Not yet.

The garden, full of wonder, full of beauty—this is where I am. But I wait for her, even though I do not yet know her name.
