PARADISE DREAMING<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Fragrant plumeria,
\nwater crystal clear,
\nI am that child once again
\nswinging high within
\nthis paradise canvas
\npainted once more for me.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And as I delight
\nin crystalline waterfalls
\nof this paradise
\nsummer\u2019s day,
\nthe rhythms of each
\nfalling drop soothe
\nmy heart and soul,
\ninviting me so gently
\nto their tropical serenity.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

As I stop and listen
\nand join in the tranquil scene,
\nKoi silver and golden,
\ncatch my eye as they swim,
\nbringing peace my way
\nand good luck on this day
\nas ukulele love songs
\nupon paradise breezes flow
\ninfuse the open spaces
\nwithin my treasure box glow.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And as I recall
\nthis sweet paradise,
\nI\u2019m transported once more
\nto that place safely held
\nwithin imagination\u2019s dreams
\nand the fanciest of flights,
\nmy refuge,
\nmy sanctum,
\ntranquility\u2019s peace.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
