'My Dream of Eden'

I wrote this poem a few years ago, about how I imagined my ideal Paradise.

My Dream of Eden

In my dream I walk along the sand
Where wind-blown palms outstretched,
Their leaves as fingers on a giant's hand
Beckon the waves that lap the shore
While the waters kiss my feet, fall back,
Then playfully return for more


All I need is all around
Mother Nature's gifts abound
The golden sun adorns my skin
As I wander naked in my world,
Caressed by breezes, without sin,
Carefree, peace around me, peace within

My boat lies basking on the beach
Waiting for me, out of reach
Of the waves, sun-bleached,
Ready to be launched upon the ocean
To sail, like a white gull
It's sleek hull longs to be in motion

Almost silently we glide
Blue waters swirl along the side
S
ilver fishes dart below:
The setting sun, it's fiery glow
Turns the blue sea liquid gold
As the sun to its watery rest
Sinks slowly far beyond the west.

We can all have a dream place we can go to when we need it, in our minds. My poem describes the place I visit when I need to relax. I just close my eyes and I'm there, in my Eden.
You can be on a mountain, looking out across a beautiful valley; in a forest alive with birdsong and the rustling of the breeze through the trees; in a desert beside an oasis, or on the deck of a sailboat being carried by the wind across a blue sea.
When the world gets too heavy, or you just want to switch off for a while, relax, close your eyes, and let your mind drift to your Eden.
