I close my eyes to find a place
In different time and different space
And in imagination find
A cloistered arbour for my mind

There is more to say, for I forgot to say thank you. Thank you Valerie. Thank you so very much.
we live in our imagination world that breath freshness to other..love this
Subject matter wonderful. but it is your unerring sense of rhythm that brings the beauty of the concepts to sparkling life. Pity we can't give you more than a tenner! where sunbeams dance upon my hand... a delightful line among many. Tom Billsborough
Lovely Poem Flows beautifully and makes for a pleasant journey
I too dream of paradise as a Christian and hope for that day in which the Lord shall come in his glory..,full of splendour to take us with him.... the poem is well delivered and the descriptions well made....thought John the Beloved was giving another revelation till I remembered I was on Poemhunter....... well done
An excellent poem. I could visualize being in a paradise. Just lovely A+++++
A beautiful poem that has taken me into a paradise too. A brilliant write, I love it x
Closing eyes but walking through paradises definitely beautiful feelings and nice poem ever shared on. Fantastic work.
it is a very thought provoking poem, you wrote it with such beauty. a walk through paradise, lovely write Ms. Valerie.
I re-read this poem, as they are all so beautiful and worded so perfectly....I seen that I already commented before, so I will just say....such a beautiful place I long to be! .....Thank you for describing it so perfectly......You my friend, are soooo gifted.
I absolutely love this poem. I relate to it so much, I used to imagine my own paradise, or I would call it neverland, and make it my reality :)
This is a perfect poem. I use that word boldly because no other word conveys how wonderfully shaped and felicitously expressed your poem comes across to the reader. Each stanza is fully realized in meter, rhyme, rhythm and imagery, and the whole poem is completely convincing. This is the kind of imaginative experience only poetry can make real. We have been conditioned to think that paradise comes AFTER everything else, that we should not expect in this lifetime. Your poem dispels that bias and gives us paradise here and now!
Paradise painted in my mind by your pen very soothing to read and a picture that will stay, thats what good poetry can do..give pleasure...regards
Beautiful writing Valerie. A lovely meditation, how wonderful to have this sacred place. X
Wonderful thoughts.if we cannot have paradise, we like to make one. Brilliant Mohabeer Beeharry Maybe you could read my poems sometimes
