Paradise

At the beginning of each new day, I have a view in mind -

It is a glorious scene that I hold close to my heart, and it guides me through every avenue and byway, from the mundane to the insane and back again-

It is true that heaven can be found on earth;

for when the seed of God's love is planted, when it is nurtured 
and protected from the heat of adversity
and the winds of strife -

there is sanctuary, and oneness

When the day is through, 

there's a peace that wells from 

my soul, and a singular, glorious view

that guides me home to you
