Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

My Dream of Paradise

MY DREAM OF PARADISE

I dreamed of "Paradise", last night,
that it was really here.
And in that dream I realize,
was nothing here ... to fear.

I looked around at everything,
earth's beauty was so vast.
Exactly, as God had promised,
saw nothing ... of the past.

Saw those that woke, from deathly sleep,
with families, safe and sound.
Joyful sounds echoed in the air,
no bodies ... in graves found.

In dream, saw earth's perfectness,
each human a perfect soul.
Just being in my dream, when woke
felt wonderful ... and whole.

Christ's "Paradise Promise" is REAL,
on earth, won't disappear.
"Meek inherit the earth,"
pray God rewards me ... here.

The Scriptures, basis of my dream,
"Earthly Reward" my goal.
I hope for this, I pray for this,
with all my heart ... and soul.

Gail Debole November 8, 2020 at 5:45 PM Hi Barbara, Love your writing style. Thank you for sharing your dream of paradise in such an elegant way. - Gail Barbara Barry-Nishanian November 8, 2020 at 8:38 PM Hi Gail, again you mention my writing style, again I ask if you have any way to define it besides poetry? If I get the courage to do a book, calling it poetry limits its desirability, fear. My hope is from Bible. are you aware of two hopes, heaven and Earth?
