I Seen

In my safe haven I wander’s
In many beautiful forests

Leaves of a bright deep green
Grass of silk I rest my body
I rest my soul

Exquisite colors pure colors
So beautiful
To much beauty for only one
Body to hold

Purple sky fading into blues
And greens
Goldenrod colors of yellows
Rain down around me

I almost could reach and touch
With my hands

I walked through
Little pathways leading into
Many mirrors of mazes
Filled with
Sand castles and shadows of 
Times sitting still

I talked with my mother I talk
With my father

I felt their arms around me
I felt their love surroun me

You know I could not have
Been happier

I seen the river of Jordan I heard
The trumpet blow

I heard the sound of happiness
I did not see a tear

All sadness was washed away alone
Side the river of Jordan

I seen the worlds beauty shredded
From all its gloom

I walked the lands where only a few
Could go

Than

I had to awaken into the same old
World I thought I had left behind
