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.
