The unknown paradise

Let me now sit inside you

and pray for a cure

I am yours afresh, anew

I know you are pure.

Every speck of your dust

we can blindly trust,

every grain of your food

can help us grow for good

every drop of rain

every inch of your terrain

stable, sound, secure

the healing stars

the lights they shower

the big and small creatures

all of them

yours.

Then for which firmament

do they ignore

you, resting in your nest

do they plunder you with zest

but everything you endure;

with all my innocence

let me wake up inside you

and pray for a cure

for their actions without sense

their intelligent ignorance
deadly and blind

destructive, unkind

placing life behind
every now and then

for an unknown heaven?

My earth

mother of my thousand births

in my deaths

in my breaths

I am close to you

more and more

let me remain with you

and pray for a cure.

In time for sure

we will all be yours

all killings will cease

the troubles, ill at ease

let me be inside you

and pray for a cure.

With a splash of love and light

through the days and the nights

our stars will rise

when all of a sudden

we would recognize

how we were in search of this bliss
that escaped us, went amiss
for eons of lives

until we realize
we are the children

of your paradise.
