Heaven on Earth

In this magical garden of Eden

a rich tapestry is woven

with a thread less needle

that only ONE can hold

Dancing, light butterflies

caress the swaying daisies

A fresh, soft breeze

touches the rosy cheeks of a newborn

Cool, calm springs flow

to quench the latent thirst

Gentle showers from heaven

usher in a rainbow to behold

White blankets of snow

purify the heart and soul

The dark canopy with the silver disc

protects with a calming presence

The effervescent lamp in the East

fills the heart with knowledge

And the twinkling stars at night

guide us through the heavenly maze

An enchanting painting in motion

that is too beautiful

to ever describe in its entirety

It’s Heaven on Earth!
