The Eden inside me

                                                       Faded flowers and fallen leaves
                                                                Dreaming of Eden
                                                             Are not the only ones
                                                              The chill, the desert 
                                                            Are close companions

                                                         Where I am and why I am
                                                          Questions dominate me
                                                               Futility takes over 
                                                                 Gloom engulfs 
                                                              Eden becomes far

                                                                 The day ends
                                                                 Night passes
                                                                     Sun sets
                                                             No one gets Eden
                                                              Except the story

                                                           I searched and sought 
                                                            For the fullest and all
                                                     Whisper came from the heart
                                                          Who is she/he? I asked
                                                                    I am Eden!
