I dream of Eden when time first began
a universe so vast and endless
with only the simplest elements of earth and sky
a sanctuary never receding like the end of a rainbow

a turquoise dawn awakes me
light spills through in shafts of multicolor
waters a mirror reflecting a cerulean silk sky
grasses are lacquered with early morning dew

I walk around in dreamy euphoria
pure air scented in mint and honeyed liqueur
flame trees bright as a convention of cardinals
an intense sense of peace prevails

A Creator has laid out a multilayered masterpiece
expectation of immortality is not presumptuous
uncertainty of life will not haunt me in the night
no poison has touched the apple garden.

Wonderful in its ambiance Miss jjote. A clear, calm, and peaceful meditation.
