A DIFFERENT TIME & PLACE

In a different time
Or in a different life
There was a special place
Where we would meet

Here one would see
All of the beauty in you & in me
Where the world was at peace
No one wanted for more

We all had what we needed
Desire was fulfilled
Joy & Happiness abounded
Sky opened up onto heaven

No harm could come to a child
Nothing ever awakened the beast
No sorrow no pain no death
Is this real or a dream

Can there be no joy without sorrow
Can one know ecstasy
If one has not felt despair
How can one compare
Somehow to nothing do we dare

What wishes come true
When the wisher isn't there
How do we dream if we are not awake
How to open the heart if not closed before

A balance is struck
Life seems to know the right mix
Even though we do not comprehend why
There is a rhythm to everything

Find peace in knowing
All is as it should be
Discovering you made a difference
This is the simplest thing
Embrace your life in the knowing of what it is
