Paradise on Earth

Wandering on widening paths

The salmon can hear the river

Things come together; the centre can hold;

Trust is present in the world

Confluence exists

The best lead, while the worst

Are held accountable

Revelation is everywhere;

Paradise on Earth is here and now

Paradise on Earth! It conjures

An image 

Recognized; somewhere in the woodlands

A shape of a man and a woman

A look of love 

Finding its way across

Rays of light piercing the trees

The sun rises, and I understand

That twenty-one centuries ago

An infant was sung to sleep by a manger

And the soft of heart remembers,

The star leading the way to Bethlehem.
