My Paradise

My paradise is blue
extended, unending
an ocean serene, unruffled
a cloudless sky
where day meets night
lovingly.
Seeking this paradise
I have walked miles
Torn feet, bleeding heart
stop not that quest
screeching owls
howling winds
rip and batter
rains slush away path
wading through deluge
I walk.
Paradise lives
in heart and mind
an eternal call
wooing endurance
End's not in sight
through murk
I dare
holding promised land
cupped in palms
eyes'll dim
breath run out
I'll walk on
to me paradise.
