Paradise Found 1

Were I to swim to the edge of the sea, what splendid scene should await for me? Would there be a castle turned upside down, with moat and garden where roses abound? Would there be a nook with bread and mead, and rare leather-bound books for me to read? Could I uncover secrets of the crown, win a place at the fabled table round? A lustrous lounge sitting next to a tree with Merlin’s magic to envelope me. A gnarly gantelope to test my firm ground, unfailing doughty staunch, and silent sound. If such distant place exists pure and free I would swim away from my life and flee, join with Arthurian knights all around take up arms to protect the King renown. My life, my honor, my blood I would bleed, a place in history for noble deed. A world of righteous and virtue bound, confident and sure of paradise found.

It's lovely to just close our eyes sometimes in a quiet place and let our imagination take us to wherever we want to go. An enjoyable read Linda. Hope your week is going well. Tom
