Windows

My paradise comforts my mind
And quiets the sobs of my heart;
It is a place that makes me cry
When I envision the beauty of inner peace
Of that golden house on the ridge of dreams,
That sparkles like stones in a clear lake
When the sun kisses the earth.

It is appreciated within a blink
This special place of mine,
When seen from atop racing cirrus clouds
On that perfect day when God smiles;
It makes me feel like an angel in love with Heaven
When I inhale to hear the whistles of colorful birds
And the fluttering of playful butterflies as if they
were children.

If only I could share this hidden secret
With the rest of the sleeping world---
The secret of why darkness never seems to embrace this special place
And why the light is always that of early morn;
If only these wonders could be seen by others,
This place overlooking life’s ravine
As my imagination peers from below,
Daring me to soar as eagles do,
To be free from all that is said can never be.

So much beauty contained within hope’s hourglass,
Put on display as my heart’s dowry
To find a peaceful resting place for my soul…
The honk of the horn behind me, wakes me from my teary
gaze
And I continue my drive through paradise.
Behind me, the setting sun bids me farewell,
Shedding its final light on a house that fades, as do
some dreams.

Marcel

Marcel~
I *sigh* with the loveliness of your thoughts~

'If only I could share this hidden secret
With the rest of the sleeping world---
The secret of why darkness never seems to embrace this special place
And why the light is always that of early morn;
If only these wonders could be seen by others,
This place overlooking life’s ravine
As my imagination peers from below,
Daring me to soar as eagles do,
To be free from all that is said can never be.'


Oh ... it sounds so lovely~
Thank you for sharing this~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Oh, but you do share it.  I know this place most of the time when I allow myself to feel it.  Your writing was absolutely inspired, Marcel!   ....jo
