A day in paradise.
I tasted paradise
sweet nectar of life
I ate of the fruits
on a sun-kissed beach
and I drank from the springs
fresh water pure and sweet.
I danced with the fawns
and sang with the birds
not caring who saw
not caring who heard.
The bees buzzed aside
as I raided their hive
I shared with the bears
golden honey.
I had a feast of nuts and berries
washed down with wine from the vines
I spent a day in paradise
free from the woes of mankind.
