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