paradise

these days, it's hard to find my way
the roads now filled with shadow gray
beseeching above, this I pray
somewhere, somehow, find you one day
far too few and far too far
are my memories of you
can we go back to the beginning?
when sweet love was something new
we soared high o'er heaven's mountains
we filled the air with such a sound
we danced and splashed among the fountains
we walked ten feet off of the ground
a warmness filled our hearts with joy
songs were passed between our lips
a freedom no one could e'er destroy
vibrations joined our fingertips
tender glances betwixt our eyes
caressive thoughts filled our minds
never once was doubt imagined
yet we missed the warning signs
at first it felt we'd merely stumbled
soon dark clouds faded our view
'fore long our lives had fully tumbled
til that day when I lost you
must crawl from this day 'mong this mire
to find the one that I love true
were found I beg, come away with me
we'll find our paradise anew

Beautiful, so many of us are writing about similar feelings bubbling up from our subconscious, I invite you to view the movie 'Surrogates', if you haven't yet, and tell us what you think, it inspired a poem for me...
