My Paradise

My Paradise

oh that eyes

would open wide

see what is

what wants to be seen

that mind would stop

its mindless chatter

that noise would shush

be still ~ be silent

let me hear

beyond my ears

perceive the singing

of stars

and shimmer

of moonlight

oh that heart

would still its beat

capture love’s whisper sweet

that blood would coarse

melodically

to nature’s rhythm

gently beat

that I in all the moment

would be

drink in the reverence

of existence

oh that eyes

would open wide

and stir the course

to turn the tide

and navigate

from clamor and chaos

and draw me closer

to my bliss

my paradise

of unity

where all is

simplicity

that there I

may simply

BE
