Walking into Paradise

I saw it clearly, dearly even

My walk into Paradise,

It was warm and breezy

Because the sun never lies.

I was crippled truly

In a pit of despondency

In the real winter of my life,

Finally forgiven, free, free from strife.

There were jewelled trees

All around and about me,

There was a fresh blue stream

Of love, and the shelter of my dreams.

I was alone in Nature's Eden,

The only Eve and I was even

Breathing fully when spring arose

As I walked into Paradise.

There were tulip pods

Surrounding me proud

And even the grass never bent,

And then in that heaving state

I saw that you were sent.

A glimpse of your entity

A whiff of your dewy skin,

And the golden ball high above

Did let me stand tall and win.

It's then when the light did dawn

And me thoroughly did shroud

When I realised I needed you

Wholly and to experience Nature's

Full force and that I would never

Truly bask in glory without you

Or never gain entry into God's den,

Into that heavenly abode called Paradise.

Without you even the sun feels gloomy

And even in a palace it's cramped, not roomy.

Just having you makes it all real

And Paradisic,  always exultantly surreal.
