I have found my Eden…

I have found my Eden…
Crazy, it was only a stones throw away…
A sublime wilderness…
Dotted with lakes and meadows.

Each morning, I listen as this garden wakes around me…
The creatures with bold, painted faces…
I stare into their deep liquid eyes…
Yet, I know, there is so much more if I listen a little closer.

It started like an ink sketch…
A feeling that had a slight sullen smile…
A secret in the fresh morning dew…
It whispered softly…
“You are only responsible to live according to your own divine pull.”

Now, I can open up my journals for the world to see…
Write poems of the Eden that I have found…
Roll like a pebble in a stream…
Follow the smooth linear paths.

You too can find your Eden…
It is just a few degrees to your left…
Follow the scents of freedom…
You will know that taste, it is the taste of the sea.

I love you,

Annie
