Paradise is
space
to grow
to expand
to soar
like a bird
wind
in my hair
in my wings
in my sails
pushing me along the sea
Paradise is
the warmth
of the sun
caressing my skin
gently
freedom to be
anything I want
including nothing
Paradise is
the sweet taste
of strawberries
dripping redly down my ching
the warm smell
of musk
and spice
like mulled cider
held carefully
in my hands
as I watch
the fire warmly
blazing
Paradise is
knowing
that all is right
with the world
with you
with me
that I can sleep
at night
and wake
in the morning
to Paradise
