Great Escape

Gardens gilded with every flower known to man 
Replete with wondrous waterfalls fresh flow,
Elysium sacred scenes to make souls soar with
Angels waiting, watching o'er our day
To keep us safe, to drive our fears away.

Eclectic words embraced, endowed with faith to
Sing sonorous songs in melodies of love with 
Candles burning bright to light the night
And glorious God and Goddess' blessings from above.
Perhaps with kindred kindness we eagerly entreat to
Elevate our souls with precious poetry's escape.
