Questing Paradise
/He asks me the meaning of paradise and I reflect its different shades and colours.
————
“What…” he asks me, brow furrowed, keen, wanting to understand,
“...is paradise?”
I deeply consider:
Is it a place? Some magical realm where all is synchronised
Beautiful
Harmonious
Real
Abundant?
Can this happen? Truly exist? I wish it were so. He nods.
Is it a feeling? A delight in the moment when something or someone is so treasured
That a kind of cellular rapture takes over.
Beyond the earthly limitations that can seem harsh, gross, unfriendly
Sorrowful.
It is far from this world yet exists here too.
Is it an experience? Perhaps where love reaches its sublime state,
When you travel this world as a mystic
No thing gives pain anymore, not a trace.
When you love whole-heartedly
It is easy to know paradise.
