Where is paradise?
Is it a place on earth? Is it a space in thought?
Can we travel there in a jet? Can we find it among friends
and family? Or in the presence of a special friendship?
Is it a place we find in aloneness? On a mountain? In a
cinema? In a crowd? On a beach?
Is it somewhere far away? Not here. Not now. Not me.
Is it ephemeral? Elusive? Unattainable?
Is it fleeting? Is it confined to a certain time or place?
Back then. Over there. When…
Is it a feel? Sometimes felt?
What and where is paradise?
