"Paradise To Me": A Poem For Peace...And Muslims~
Nov 18 '06 (Updated Nov 01 '07)
The Bottom Line Reviews will come and go, but poetry lasts forever! What a good way to celebrate 1000 reviews, huh?
Paradise to me…
Is no future reward.
Not something outside me
That I need to fight for.
It doesn’t come…
Because I seek glory.
It has no borders around it
That defines where I’ll be happy.
Paradise to me…
Is a creative endeavor.
Something erupting from in me
That I‘ll share with another.
.It finally comes…
When I can listen as well.
It’s like a stream ever flowing
With voices that swim in a spell.
Paradise to me…
Is a soulful connection.
Someone who opens their mind
To lean in my direction.
It indeed comes…
As a recognition of souls.
It shall be what we see,.
This beautiful world once again whole.
This poem marks Review #1000, accomplished in six years, eleven months and two days. My total hits are 542,182. Thank you so much for reading my stuff! I've been encouraged to read and watch a lot of fantastic books and movies that I probably wouldn't have on my own. The site has broadened my world, which makes my poem so appropriate.
The poem was written with my Operation: Muslim Outreach in mind and I include links to my entries so far. I hope you'll join me with reviewing similar media products that promote understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims. Send links to your reviews here and I'll add them as long as they come. I have many more things to review and hope you've been enjoying my entries.
Poems like "Paradise To Me" are also welcome. Reviews will come and go, but poetry lasts forever!
