Michelle Casto Poet I do not know?

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.”

Poet Tacito May 27, 2015 at 9:51 AM 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! :) Michelle Casto May 27, 2015 at 5:17 PM Yes, I AM finding that I Am Paradise. Greetings fellow journey man @Drake
