PARADISE

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
