Paradise Express

I have heard of a place that's not on maps;
A place where there's no room for lies;
Where mornings and nights never make the kiss,
Where every form of life is able, is wise.

Where you'll find only faces and never a mask;
Where curiosity is never afraid to think and ask;
Where the one true religion has always been love;
Where the endless sky is always blue above;
Where the birds never know the fatigue of flight;
Where the nights stand dauntless in the stars' light;
Where no child is killed before even she's born;
Where no heart is broken and no skin torn;
Where nobody knows the art of building a wall;
Where there is always a hand when you fall;
Where lilies dance with a newfound zest;
Where crows and doves share the same nest;
Where the river quenches the thirst of all;
Where a horse runs free and is never in a stall;
Where the moon's always shy and the sun bright;
Where you'll never have to fight for what's right;
Where benevolence is, by all, considered divine;
Where dreams and fears are separated by a line;
Where every empty soul always gets fed;
Where there's always a smile after every tear's shed.

I have heard of this place, and of a train that runs
Through its heart; and I can hear the summons;
And since it's dark, my end drawing nigh,
I would love to be there,and I would love to fly.

By The River

In the face of suffering she was longanimous. By the river she sat, embracing her agony And waited for the little boat to emerge, like The demure bee from within the beauteous petals. Her impregnable belief to see him, on the boat, Waving at her, made her roots go deep. She waited for the tides to run quiet and calm For just one day; and the skies to shine like her hope; Her young heart aged by the river, counting Ripples from every pebble she threw; but it was A river; ripples seemed to be in their usual rush. Summer changed to winter, winds turned cold; Leaves grew impatient and kissed the moist earth. She grew old waiting, but the boat was still a dream. The curtains were undulating, asking her to get up; And saying that maybe the land was too far; Or maybe the tides were too fast; The truth her eyes bled at the thought of was The boat was never destined for a homecoming; Neither was her wait destined to see an end;  Perhaps the boat...

The Man Who Could Not Die

In the unnamed valley that reeked of death I met a man who couldn't die. A hundred decades he had seen, they said, And still death wasn't kind to him. I found him weeping as the sun set, Under a tree younger than him And when he heard me, he said, "Another man with a treasure." The pain in his voice hit me Harder than the lifeless wind And I asked, "What treasure Do you think I carry?" "Oh no, nothing that sparkles," he said Trying, and failing, to laugh, "But your ability to die." I sat by his side and said "People fear death On the other side of this valley, And eternal life is a fantasy." He held my hand and said, "Such a twisted dream perpetuity is; Can fool even the wisest of the wise. Things that are deathless Are the farthest from peace." I picked a dry leaf and asked, "Do you feel lonely? Every thing around you dies. You see death every day, Wishing somebody could see yours....

The Pallbearer

I happen to know a common pallbearer Who mourns all deaths around him; His eyes have the wisdom you’d expect But the light in them is quite dim.  He carries corpses; he carries them everyday, And never does he ask for the name of the dead. ‘Cause someday it will be someone he knows And the name shall never escape his head. Said he once, ‘Today I carried a little girl’ ‘Seven she was, I heard them say… My daughter would be seven by now, yes, Had it not been such a bad day.’ He still believes the little girl heard His whisper, in her box so small; ‘Sleep well little girl, whoever you are, For this sleep eventually comes to us all.’ ‘Had you lived a little more, child, You would have known how the world looks. But don’t be sad, for it’s not as beautiful As they lie in your colourful books.’ The pallbearer sees an obscure face, The face of his daughter behind a veil, And a smile; The smile that pulls out tears; And the smile t...
