Standing at the gates of Eden <br />I was not allowed to pass <br />“Not today, sir! ” the keeper shouts <br />And then he turned to me his ass <br /> <br />Waiting for the day to come <br />I read my book anew <br />Years went by and time ran fast <br />But no one else went through <br /> <br />Questions tumbled in my head <br />When keeper finally revealed: <br />“This gate was yours and yours alone <br />But now it’s closed and sealed” <br /> <br />Turning to the end of pages <br />I saw an ancient find <br />The keeper of the gates of Eden was <br />But a shadow in my mind. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2008 Göran Gustafsson.
