Subject: Finding Paradise

Finding Paradise

There is a place in every city
where one can get away
from the clutter, the madness;
a place where the air
smells cleaner somehow;
where birds sing songs of joy;
squirrels chatter; coyotes roam
and the sun shines
through sparkling dew-covered webs;
or stained-glass windows;
where one hears whispers
of the breeze through leaves;
or chants of monks or voices of angels;
where one finds peace, tranquillity,
and forgets the world’s problems
if only for a few moments.

Each city hides such a mystery:
I know this; I have found one where I live;
a place to get away
when the system’s stranglehold
would choke my life;
a place where I touch earth or heaven
and from whence, renewed
I can face the city’s painful cries
without losing my soul.

To some, it is called a park,
and to some, it’s sitting on the dock
and to some, it’s a candle-lit vault
in an incense filled ancient church
but it is always the same place...
