Tom Fleece Poet Rhyme

A Glimpse Of Paridise

PARADISE IS CALM AND PEACEFUL
A PLACE THAT HAS NO PAIN
SADNESS HAS NO FACE HERE
EVIL HAS NO GAIN

 STANDING ON A SHADED HILL
THE TREES ARE BRIGHT AND BOLD
COLORS DANCING IN THE AIR
TOO MANY TO BEHOLD

NEARBY THERE’S A RIVER
THAT’S SHIMMERING IN GOLD
AND IN IT SWIMS A TALKING FISH
FROM PROPHECIES OF OLD

IT KNOWS OF MANY STORIES
AND IT TELLS ME MANY TALES
IT TALKS OF LOFTY GLORIES
AND LEAVES OUT ALL THE FAILS

AND BY THE RIVER A TREE
WHOSE MANY ROOTS RUN DEEP
THEY TANGLE THROUGH THE FERTILE SOIL
WHERE MAGIC CREATURES CREEP

AND ON THIS TREE THERE GROWS A FRUIT
WHOSE MEAT IS SWEET AND GOOD
TO EAT IT MAKES YOU KNOW THE THINGS
YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD

AND BY THE TREE A WINDING PATH
THAT WANDERS THROUGH THE WOOD
IT TAKES YOU TO A SILVER GATE
TO ENTER THERE IS GOOD

AND ON THE OTHER SIDE A GLADE
A PLACE WERE RAINBOWS  HIGH ARE MADE
THEY RISE UP FROM A CRYSTAL POOL
WITH COLORS BRIGHTER THAN A JEWEL

I WALK UPON A RAINBOW'S EDGE
I’M CLIMBING VERY HIGH
I JUMP OFF FROM ITS HIGHEST LEDGE
AND FLOAT WERE ANGELS FLY

LIKE A SNOWFLAKE DESCENDING
OR SO IT MAY SEEM
LIKE THE WING OF A DOVE 
THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL DREAM

I LAND BY A SEA
WHERE THE LONGBOATS DO SAIL
THEY BECKON TO ME
LIKE A COLD GLASS OF ALE

COME WANDER WITH US
THEY SAY WITH A SMILE
WE’LL SING HAPPY SONGS
AS WE SAIL BY THE MILE

THE SUNSETS ARE BRIGHT
THEY LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
COME WANDER WITH US
IN TIMELESS DELIGHT

SO THIS IS PARADISE
A NICE PLACE TO BE
AND WHEN YOU ARE READY
COME WANDER WITH ME.
