Zen Paradise

Can you hear the sounds of tomorrow through an open door?
Can you see the light at the end that we're all waiting for?
Can you touch a star in the sky before it quickly fades away?
Can you dance with soothing ocean mist as it lifts its spray?

Can you taste the lucious fruit of love that is yet ungrown?
Can you embrace all the dreams that are actually yours to own?
Can you feel the mighty sands of time shifting just for you?
Can you understand your inner child and know just what to do?

Can you reach within and heal your pain and set your spirit free?
Can you search your soul enough to know it's you who holds the key?
Can you survive the dark storms of life without losing your way?
Can you walk the road less travled while still remaining happy?

Can you imagine the miracle of life is the one and only you?
Can you believe these things really aren't very hard to do?

  Thank you, John!!!
  You're always right there with the right words to say at the right time, and for that I am grateful... even if my work isn't all that great, at least I know you're always there... I have tried in vain to find a poem of yours that I haven't commented on yet, but haven't had any luck... is there one (or more) particular poem(s) of yours that you recommend I read?

This is simply beautiful Cyn. You are quite the artist yourself, you know. I have a good feeling this poem isn't done yet. I think this is going to be an epic!
OH HOW you inspire me!!!!!

No, really. You do. It's good to have friends like you in this world, not many come around anymore.
Blessings always,
