One day I found myself in Paradise,
Completely out the blue.
I don’t recall a warning:
From nothing I came through.
Into a new dimensional realm
I sprang:
Into a world so vast.
A planet out there somewhere,
In icy space so lost
A Universe not crossed.
A world so full of life,
Of sweeping seas
And towering trees.
A place so beautiful,
Beyond compare.
We stand and stare.
All peopled by
Multi-coloured multitudes.
From which the radiance of sentient life exudes.
To where had I escaped?
You may well ask.
So let’s unmask:
The loveliest world of all,
For what it’s worth.
A heaven of the heavens:
Our planet Earth.
Paul Butters
