Land Of Paradise

sit quietly
and envision
a spiritual paradise
for all of mankind


envision


the beauty of the trees
and smells of scented
 

flowers blooming all around

 

 

close your eyes

envision some more

 

 

feel the gentleness of
swaying grass

here the music

that the birds play


enjoy the refreshing taste
of rippling waters

and plenty of food

to feast upon

 

 

envision
 
what this world

would have be like
to be totally free

and at peace

 

for there was

no shame, harm,

hate nor crime

no pain nor strife

 

 

it's was a magnificant place

a land of paradise

created by God's hands

 

until the day selfishness
and greed was introduced to
Adam and Eve's hearts


as they ate from the tree
God strickly forbid them
never to eat from


this was the day God wept
for he had to change

the ways of life

and survival of man

 

image what this world of ours
today would have been like ?
if  the weakness of man's

temptation never conminced


how wonderful life would have been
to be content, and at peace
spirit,body and mind


and forever embraced

in the arms of God's
unconditional love

    Great write and I love that picture so much. Looks wonderful. You can be proud of this effort. Last line however, you have a misspelling, "uncontional" s/b "unconditional". Perfect otherwise. Good luck. Walt

      Thanks for the typo correction and thanks for reading
      and critiquing this entry...

      I often wonder if people really envision
      and think what life would have been like?

      God Bless,
