Paradise is by Nicole Sara

What is a promise, a dream?
What is a hope or desire?
What is a heart’s burning flame
setting all senses
on fire?

What is the mind’s
adventure,
and which is the soul’s sweet ease?
What if the life’s sole purpose
is being caressed by

the breeze…

Do days always reach for remoteness
and dawns always shine so divine
casting far chime over moments,
driving refrain and
new rhyme?

When frowns or smiles,
or doubts
orbit each minute’s deep beats,
deeper yet heavenly rays
pierce from across

bluer seas…

Longing for further,
for warmer
yearning for promising skies,
golden triumphant tomorrows
beyond strained sinews
and eyes

Ploughing and steering

steadily
ready to fall to your knees,
holding horizons at heart
finding what

paradise is…
