Eden



Rivers flow
The sands of time pass by
Leaving me with a sense of ease,
As everything begins to make sense to me.
There is no right
There is no wrong
Just endless peace
Enduring all that has yet to be seen.
Cherry blossoms fall to the sacred earth,
Wine flows from the rivers
Never does this ever cease to amaze
Such tranquility is found only in dreams
But my eyes are open.
Is this "Eden",
With majestic mountains
As far as the eye can see,
Or is this all an illusion?
Built by those who lack reason?
