Paradise

Hey, everybody! It's been a while since I've shared anything with you, I know. But the other other day I was on a hike and out of nowhere a couplet verse popped into my head. When I arrived back home I immediately wrote down those lines. The next day I went back to it and finished the poem. So here it is: Paradise. Enjoy! (please leave your comments! thanks!)

Paradise

You do not need a stethoscope

To listen to your heart

And the beauty of the Soul

Is the truest form of Art

So like the trees in autumn

When the leaves begin to fall

Abandon inhibition

And reveal your Self to all

Strip your Soul to Oneness

And bear your naked bones

And brag about your riches

To the kings upon their thrones

The ones who stand by watching

Are the ones who’ll never know

The one true path to happiness

That only you can know

For the light upon your path

Is a light that never fades

And the music that you hear

Is for your own parade

A march into the distance

Where the laughter never dies

And no one ever hurts

And no on ever cries

A Paradise within you

A Paradise without

So raise your voice in song

And laugh and dance about

When the Gates of Golden open

And reveal the splendid view

Let your eyes look upon

This belongs to you

Paradise
