This Humble Paradise

pause and let
time expand into
beauty’s forever unfolding

Eden

in this paradise
of new colors
apples are still flowers

Secret Garden

tucked away
magic white bench
surveys the private paradise

Paradise

bee’s nirvana
a pollen utopia
found in October

Paradise

resides right outside my window.

Meadow

This is where the dragonflies play
on lazy summer days.
Paradise is at your feet.
