Eden Somewhere

Eden Somewhere 

I wandered through 
a timeless land
where trees and flowers 
have command; animals
from the smallest here sleep
in glorious dreams not fear

the hand of man has come and gone
without him timelessness goes on

as I stopped, before my eyes
resplendent deer did arise from 
slumbers sweet and slumbers fair
there was no fright nor worried care 
and all the while I gently pray
oh God tis here I need to stay.

Timothy I appreciate your encouragement. I believe that Eden is somewhere but without humans. That is what made it Eden.
