Today`s prompt is to take a character from Hieronymous Bosch`s "The Garden of Earthly Delights"  Write it through the eyes of your chosen character, there are many different ones to choose from.  

Albino Giraffe

this Garden of Eden, be it heaven or hell

visual sight twisted through the mind

stood here betwixed beauty and horror

towering among beasts of many kind

Regal in my stance I view these events

watching with marvel as Adam meets Eve

to see God`s glory being unfurled 

yet visualising much sorrow to grieve

located in between these chasms of fate

a pool of meditation feed the beasts

my world doth change but for good?

will it be filled with God`s priests?

to watch beast devour beast with greed

will Adam and Eve face the same fate?

or will my white fur see me bleed?
  with these evil delights in God`s Garden
