Paradise

Miles and miles I walked In search of the holy one Who made you and me But could be seen by none With a disappointed heart and fragile attempts I lost my hope, I gave up my hunts Consoling my disturbed soul, I looked up at the sky Watching the snow balls roam and cry The serenity of the night from the grace of Adam Comes across Eve and the garden of Eden I was gawking down at the flowers smiling The moon's bright white light shining On the most beautiful, eternal place I stared at the lady bugs on the green grass blades It could be seen everywhere, the beauty he has made Squirrels digging deep and their tails broom the ground And butterfly wings in a merry-go-round And then it burst , upon me the truth so pure To my incomplete spirit, the heavenly cure For all the legends and myths I blocked Every temple-church gates I knocked Beneath every horizon, in the very pages of books And in every desert and every snow hooks The secret was there, simple and sweet Oh! I sigh with regret Why in my life couldn't I get? Now in my coffin do I realize That in me was my Lord, and the earth was my paradise
