PARADISE
I never imagined it would come to this
Such constant comfort and days of bliss
It’s as if spring and summer were to kiss
A sun’s warmth and hope in the breeze
Silence, except for the hum of the bees
This state I’m now in, is more than nice
A lifetime, when nothing seemed right
Years of grey, between black and white
No vivid hues, faded shades in the light
But now the bright colour has returned
There were lessons I have since learned
And was always willing to pay the price
That I somehow deserve all this is absurd
Pleasant seems to be an inadequate word
There’s nowhere else I’d have preferred
I am floating gently, almost like a feather
Can this delightful state now last forever
How could one complain about paradise
