PARADISE

The World is not enough

for this free-willed child of yours;

He searches for what cannot be found here,

A  Loving Soul, A Warm Embrace.

He wanders about looking for Water

Alas, he knows not, only elixir can quench his thirst

In this realm, he looks for The One,

The One who sees with equal eyes,

The One who sees no difference between

a hero vanquished and a fallen sparrow.

He seeks a place where exists not hunger,

nor a single drop is shed,

where one does not kill to survive,

where there is no single ruler,

but everyone has their throne.

Your child is baffled by this paradoxical enigma-

If you created this world, why cannot he find you in it?

He is now beyond the world and the worldly,

He introspects and finds You Within.

He Says," Take me, take me, take me away

                 Take me to my home for I am lost

                 Take me to Paradise."
