Paradise

....a little slice of paradise...to restart the engine..:)

Osprey flood-pathed junctures

in the

middle

of Paradise.

Overexposed and diluted

by the

sounds

of the missing heartbeat

and the

loneliness

of the beakless egret

we all feel.

 

The expression of

the sunlit

reflective pool,

for the

paradise

we know and sense

and understand.

Not quite at the

end of

earth,

but almost.

 

While the ball

of fire

exposed and

diminished,

flourishes to the

very end., and

awakens on the beaches

of Casey Key,

toward the dusk of

the beautiful day

in paradise…

I smile

What do you suppose it is like to be a predatory bird on he wing I think I would like it

A beautiful and peaceful read. Well written with great flow and imagery.

Your rating is not high enough, better fix that 100/100 for being talented and for being a good friend. On a serious note, I like how you are inspired by simple things in nature, you make even more amazing and real. :)

This was wonderfully written, you do have a way of making your poems come alive so to say.
With the picture you have painted in my mind, I am feeling very tranquil/relaxed right now. Makes me want a margarita, ;)

I enjoyed the field trip in your words. I like the peace of a lonely place where you can find new friends to enjoy the peace. A very nice ending to a excellent poem.
