Finding Paradise

Finding Paradise 5/25/15 Innocently I fell into a strange dimension to play lost and found searching for the magic elixir where dreams come true and love rules Wandering thru many lands of promise unable to hold on to lasting peace Belonging is a moving spotlight across foreign places Awake! but the dream runs deep Which way do I go? North South or catch a falling star… Bound by gravity I pause and retreat to where I Am Suddenly a golden orb kaleidoscopes into a moment of Truth & paints a new horizon Self-Realization arises. while the warm, earthly breeze whispers an invitation “Be here now.”

The line that hit me: "I pause and retreat to where I Am". I see what you did with "Am" not "am". If that was intentional, excellent. Because there's an extra declaration of self with that one simple capitalization. Dig it! :)
