The breeze is soft and sweet
Like the lush grass that lifts my feet
I slip through the smell of sun-ripened earth
The sunkissed trees and greenery
I look up as pale dusk washes over the sky
Like an ocean, bright and foaming, bathed in lye
Lofty leaves twinkle as their skin glistens in departing sunlight
Trading heat from summer days for the cool of starry nights
My, how long it's been
Since I've walked the streets I call home
Since I've tread these tree-specked fields
While wet with morning dew
How long it's been
Since I've basked in the streetlights' glow
Since I've walked beside the lakeshore
Where lines are laden with fish in tow
How long I fought to move myself
To the place where the palm trees grow
I often thought to leave this land
Thought, but did little know.
Today, I'm welcomed warmly to this home
Filled with glowing peace
For paradise is in the heart
Among the heartlands
And the seas.
