Another eden hide and seek free#

Only if we actively seek and welcome God into our lives will we be assured a life of contentment, free from the fear of solitude. In order to be a true Christian, we must fully embrace God into our lives, not renounce him. Perhaps the message of the poem is that we cannot hide from God and expect him to find us. Also ‘the sun is gone’ could have a parallel meaning – Jesus, the son of God is gone from the Christian’s life. These two lines support my theory the garden is relevant to Christianity, because of the garden of Eden. The bushes hold their breath the sun is gone’. For the child this place is the tool shed, but for the Christian it could be the world without God governing it. The setting of the poem now changes to a dark, cold and unpleasant place to be as solitude sets in. ‘And there they are: whispering at the door You’ve never heard them so hushed before.’ From this point forward the seeker is portrayed as the enemy. Then doubt creeps in and realisation occurs, e.g. The child in the poem could symbolise a Christian, convinced and confident of being found, no matter where he is. God will find them, like the story of the lost sheep, wherever they go or hide. The child is a Christian and believes that God will always be with them.

It could, for example, be interpreted as being about life in a Godless universe. The poem is obviously not merely about a childhood game but has a deeper and more symbolic meaning. However the confidence gradually fades away as the realisation of abandonment occurs, and the poem ends on a note of intense fear and anxiety. The poem opened with an instruction ‘Call out’ and ends with a question ‘But where are those who sought you?’ This demonstrates very well how the tone was incredibly certain and positive at the beginning. The bushes hold their breath the sun is gone. That’s better.’ This, to me sounds like a last ditch attempt to stay positive and convince oneself that everything will be fine. ‘It’s time to let them know you are the winner. The choking imagery is also very unpleasant, and portrays an image of death. The phrase about cold biting through the coat is menacing and sets a dark scene. The reference to ‘stiff legs’ conjures up a corpse-like picture in my mind. The dark damp smell of sand moves in your throat.’ These three lines are particularly chilling and quite disturbing. ‘Your legs are stiff, the cold bites through your coat. It seems a long time since they went away. The next lines are as if the person is trying to reassure himself that everything is going to be fine. Apart from the main quest, however, you can also take up other side quests and missions including playing hide and seek. It is as though the person has suddenly realised something about the people who are looking for him.
