Paradise Land!!

Today is lovely I bright coming up roses
It has stopped raining...
I must go back to a time when in paradise.
My little Island in the sun!
The miraculous rising of the sun right there before my eyes
In my little paradise land.
The dawning of a new day in the early morning dew
Facing east once again on my knees as in a prayer
kneeling before that altar facing me
Waiting for the show to begin
New dawn! is dawning on me
Casting my hands towards the sky's
As it swiftly appears almost as with a sigh
Like a star-bursting right before my eyes
Scattering little diamonds on the shore
Best show on earth you'll ever see!
Leaving me in awe mesmerised
Unfurling before me
The gloriousness of the rising sun
Standing high flowing through my mind
my thoughts blowing in the breeze
As I throw my hands outstretched as if in a dream
trying to touch that scintillating star
Cascading her light like a river of gold
Viscuous molten reddish-golden river
In a blink of an eye ascending the heavens
It's warmth upon my skin my face
Brightness blinding me shutting my eyes
Drinking from that spring,
that spring where I was born many moons gone by
one more time in the lands of my Papa
Whispering to that bursting star before me
My chest fills my throat constricting, I miss, he!
Tears spilling from my eyes
It's hard to surmise this feeling within me
Brought on by that star bursting
Scintillating little diamonds
Pleasing my eyes
