Canto ii (the arrival)

I stood and watched,
but i could not believe,
i was new to this beauty...
why had i been before?
the metallic glowing blue,
provoked memories long dormant
and the deep red clouds flowed
with the elegance of a queen.
i was so far, yet the ambiance
was so strong and i could feel my soul trying......
trying to break free from
this restricting mortal vest.
soon my spirit flies through the night
sky, unrestricted...free,
like sand flowing through my fingers.
here i sense real peace,
sinking into the clouds,
i can forget the old world and despair no more.
sunrise brought a new day and
i was drenched in my sun,
it's warmth rejuvenated my once withered soul.
here i sense real peace,
is this my paradise.
