Paradise
the very Earth beneath
shakes and trembles
at my feet
horizons break
desert meets Sky
there is no escape
from the domination
always taking and creating
these rapes and shakes
to what end
my eyes dart and wander
like a bird
broken and lost
searching for something familiar
in the land and the frost
the hint of a life past
cannot touch this realm
standing in the shadows
I heard my voice
"welcome to paradise"
Terry D'Arcy-Ryan
