My Paradise – May 27, 1982

When I am alone and lonely,

In the pensive mood, my imagination flies –

No, not to the galactic fantasies,

Picture from Google

But to a land – My Paradise.

The mountains, perilous and unclimbable,

Surrounding the unfathomable lake –

In the inviting ice-cold-blue water,

A holy dip the heavenly swans take.

The snowy peaks seem to kiss the skies,

Dressed in a frilly dress of fog –

The foothills bordered with proud pines and evergreens,

With snowflakes clinging to their logs.

When the glow of dawn embraces the darkness,

Creating a mysterious and misty atmosphere –

Joy plucks the strings of your heart,

And you feel a music spreading everywhere..!

Infinite variety of flowers stretch there,

Miles and miles to eternity –

Where time stands still in an ageless fashion,

Leaving you glowing and empty .

There you can feel His presence,

The aroma of undestructible bliss –

In the purity and glow of golden light,

In the soft winds like The Virgin’s kiss…!
