Poem Title:
Poem
I dare to hope and dream, Of flowers that never fade Of splendid and exotic creatures All living in perfect harmony. I dream of tranquil earthly paradise, A keen euphoric garden of Eden, Created by my one and true Lord. Alas that man sinned and now The garden of Eden is closed. So let us together embark upon a journey, In earnest search and ardent expectation Of peace and love and blissful pleasure. Let us travel down a mighty river In a small pirogue, winding its way Along the fern lined banks Admiring the Cyprus and the tall pine trees. The river turns into a valley, Where mighty willows weep and dip Their lower branches in the fresh icy stream. All around, we smell the scent of flowers, Butterflies with gossamer wings Flit untiringly from bloom to bloom While insects seem to have composed A lively concert of their own. We hear the music of the song birds, Especially the multicolored martin pescador, Finches practicing their fine tunes to serenade the attractive female mate. We spy warblers, sparrows, and orioles Dancing from branch to branch Or birds of prey soaring over the ancient firs Trying to catch some unsuspecting fish That swims beneath the calm surface Of a smooth and tranquil lake. Such magic moments mesmerize our senses, As we witness the birth of day. We find ecstasy in Our Lord's creations. His wondrous hand enhances nature, Fascinates our spirit with uninhibited joy Expanding the joyous hope for all humanity.
