"Picture Paradise"
Picture a garden,
Full of flowers;
Sweet scents,
Of  enticing aromas.

Picture a forest,
Crowded with trees;
Odors of pine,
Filling your senses.

Picture a meadow,
With wild life around;
Deers and their fawns,
munching  sweet grasses.

Now close your eyes,
And see them all there.
Let your mind put you,
In these places one by one.

Escape to a paradise,
Of your choice,
Make yourself calm,
With ease and care.
See the garden of flowers,
And a meadow full of deer.
Walk among the trees,
And smell the fertile ground.

Take some time to yourself,
And dream of a special place.
Bring to mind's eye,
Of the pictures stored there.

Picture paradise,
And all it's glory.
Let your mind wander,
Among the corridors.

Dream the perfect dream,
That you've always wanted.
It will make you calm,
And ready for reality again.

A person cannot live,
Without dreams.. you see.
That's why you must dream,
And picture paradise.
