Paradise

It’s a thinkers paradise

Right after the sunrise

Before the dew’s dried

Moonlit reflections subside

By the light of the day

The mind has its say

Thinking about gains

Thoughts turn into chains

Held in a dreamer’s paradise

Awareness pays a price

The heart doesn’t stop beating

For thoughts not worth keeping

Melting into twilight, we’re spared

When the soul’s face is bared

Eyes see the original paradise

Where nothing happens twice
