My Paradise in You

Can you see it?

I wander in the middle of a wide, green meadow;
There I stand amidst the sweet mild scent of fresh grass
Tinted with wild flowers; A serenity’s soft embrace.
Your presence flows around me.

Can you feel it?

Warm like blankets enveloping and a cool, gentle breeze caressing my skin,
Combing my hair by the fingers of the wind;
And above, blue sky, clouds small and scattered about.
Your presence flows around me.

Just imagine.

Here I lay, out in the field.
Its grass, its flowers, its skies, its might,
Its spirit is yours, so here I remain;
Remembering the scent and the warmth.
And in this I find a feeling that’s true,
It’s this feeling that binds me to you.
