Paradise
“Nobody can tell us where paradise is,
so let us invent one within” – By poet
Far away from the mortal perception,
beyond the void of the azure sky,
a surreal haven they say lies
above the astral height,
the glorious magnificent realm of God,
where in dream-drenched meadows angels dance.
The splendor of the conjured heaven,
enveloped by the aura of golden glow,
we on earth crave to see after we depart
as the aspiring nirvana we try to attain.
Seeking the access to paradise,
we need to travel first on the path of self-discovery.
We wish to join in heaven
the loved ones whom we have lost,
begin a new sojourn of the after-life,
suffused with the divine delight,
and reach the supreme sanctum of bliss,
the soul invents as the ultimate destination.
