Paradise

The bird of paradise flies the wood
It is a bird not understood
Paradise does not fly bye
It is within the watchers eye

For some in death is stays the head
In truth it is the sense we wed
It is a thing on wonders wing
A sum that all the senses bring

It is the mortar in the mist
The pestle swirling in insist
It is the wrap of a cocoon
To some, the wailing of a loon

Paradise, illusions face
A shawl of Chantilly lace
A damper on a fires burn
The butter made within a churn

It is a hand without a glove
It is the lullaby of love.

Bird of paradise
for this season
it is the dove,
the Lord, the reason.

I enjoyed your paradise this morning Sy.

Indeed...
every day is only what we make of it...
and what we give back to others.

Thank you Sy!

Beautiful verse this December morn.

Now you know I love this one - pure love and logic in one place - can't beat that!

                    
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
