Paradise Found 2






One day I found myself in Paradise,

Completely out the blue.

I don’t recall a warning:

From nothing I came through.

 

Into a new dimensional realm

I sprang:

Into a world so vast.

 

A planet out there somewhere,

In icy space so lost

A Universe not crossed.

 

A world so full of life,

Of sweeping seas

And towering trees.

 

A place so beautiful,

Beyond compare.

We stand and stare.

 

All peopled by

Multi-coloured multitudes

From which the radiance of sentient life exudes.

 

To where had I escaped?

You may well ask.

So let’s unmask:

 

The loveliest world of all,

For what it’s worth.

A heaven of the heavens:

Our planet Earth.
