West of the Garden

By Luke Rook

West of the garden there's another tree

There's another fruit across another sea

And you never will return because you must believe

in the things you choose to know

and the knowledge you receive

West of the garden there are some things you will need

Passage burned that garden down

to the ground

to the seed

What was planted in the garden is only a memory

As clear as water in the clouds

is the bottom of the sea
