Paradise

I close my eyes to picture paradise A paradise never seen or heard of An inexistent place of being A look around and take in the unimaginable scene Making sure of the surroundings I stand in My eyes look for the deep sense of reality Here, there is no war There is no hate There is no judgment Perfection and outer beauty do not exist violence, discrimination, and wealth is forgotten in the abyss They become words scrambled in the past with lost meanings I feel so far away from home as I search for signs of life But only I breathe this air and walk this ground Realizing that I am the only one who longs for paradise But suddenly I hear happy murmurs from afar The other souls have bravely stepped into this peaceful world True freedom and serenity flow into my light body Lifting me off the ground, making me feel so high A sense of worth and meaning dawn over me as I float off into the beaming sky I've never felt such a belonging before No more do I dwell on the past This moment is what I live for Worries are left on the ground and crushed by all of the lovely souls As I begin to open my eyes praying for this world to stay My feet begin to come down onto the solid ground Standing in this cold ugly world I question life and search for paradise once again
