where are you now
in this moment, i ask
climbing a ladder to a distant cloud
that only i know…
floating on a bubble under a wave of life?
you are crazy
with the mystery you breathe
you are the pure energy
of love
… fire mixed with water
and raindrops inside sand
you are tears and joy forever intertwined
like a bird not knowing his wings
still… after all
you know you are
the one who saved me from a distant paradise
and you are true

I’m intrigued with this notion of the subject saving the narrator from distant paradise. It’s rather paradoxical, considering we generally don’t want to be saved from paradise. Hmm. Pondering…
the paradise was a type of escape.. glad you enjoyed and see the paradox (i love to create double meaning…)
Very deep words, and filled with loving imagery and of gratitudes. A lovely write.
thanks for commenting… 🙂
