+-----A Courtyard Paradise; Peter's Thoughts After Betraying Jesus, Weeping 

                              I know the trepidation
of Adam, Eve now. Tying leaves
together to fashion clothing,
wisps of branches at the seams,
trembling. Birds scattering, clouds
blackened at footsteps of God nearing.
Concerned. His gaze like
fire in the Lake of Reprobates
kindled by fallen angels’ wings.
Raging. This courtyard blaze, crackling
like a Snake’s tongue recoiled, Satan
snickering. I have never felt more alone…
I have met the pure eyes of the savior
I denied, of one betrayed. Paradise Lost. 

------Luke 22:54-62
Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.” But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said. A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied. About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
