Elysium

I know a place where time and space Seem but faint trace of endless grace. I know a feel that glows and fills A gentle thrill with kind goodwill. I know a lot beyond all thought Where play and plot seem a dull spot. I know a smile that ever styles My earthly miles beyond mere wiles. I know a voice that echoes poise That prompts my choice in fond rejoice. I know a sum that calms and comes To hint in psalm a lovely balm. I know a touch in joy and nudge That means so much to me as such. I know a rhyme that flings all time In mystic mimes that spring all chimes. I know a truth that hurls beauty In placid proof of ecstasy. I know a face that follows me In time and space to set me free. I know a love that calls to me Below, above, kind and lovely. I know a friend who tells me how: Of grandeur's trend, of splendour now. Leon Enriquez 21 January 2015 Singapore
