The Far Country


After he drove the man out, he placed him on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:24)


I can see in the strip malls and the phone calls
The flaming swords of Eden
In the fast cash and the news flash
And the horn blast of war
In the sin-fraught cities of the dying and the dead
Like steel-wrought graveyards where the wicked never rest
To the high and lonely mountain in the groaning wilderness
We ache for what is lost…
