Fool's Paradise

Stop by for a cuppa tea and some inspiration:)

Pink lemonade light cascading, through my tunnel vision

a crack, the door slightly ajar

a message has been shifted and placed into my thoughts

I won't look back again

Medusa has been my curse,

that landscape has been reaped

day dreaming in my fools paradise, always creating a mirage of "If only" , if only I had a better job, if only I had more money, if only I had a bigger house, if only, if only.....
finally realizing it was an illusion of my fancy

I grab the message, "NOW" is the only thing that exists

It has not been easy, the snare is always there waiting,

a booby trap, to allure you and steel your pleasure!

Don't subscribe! I keep repeating, stay away, stay here, this is real

I gasp as I focus on what I have allowed to slip away

always too busy to notice, the magnificence of this design

this landscape, majestic scenery, the ocean, nature in all its facets

I touch, I feel, I breath, in exhilaration and hopefulness

my eyes feast on orange and yellows of reflecting light of natures lustrous greens and burnished browns,

on shadows of moonlight, casting radiance on frosted waves gently caressing my feet

the sunlight that energizes my soul allows me to exist for one more day

I realize how short my stay is

How many breaths I have remaining

and how much time I have desecrated

Medusa, I will not join you in your mausoleum of regrets

nor shall I allow my deluded mind to contrive scenarios that don't exist

I want to experience what unrolls under my feet
For when you finally come for me

I will come with gifts of love and harmony

Hebe,
Beautiful, meaningful. One phrase sticks out for me...........the sunlight that energizes my soul, allows me exist for one more day. Imprinted on us is the need for what is the point of our lives. We desire to be found. The light is part of what draws us. Where and why do we desire light? Without it we die. Why do we care? Blessings in your quest. Wonderful writing!
