The promised land Is where the sky is a hue of a shade between orange and pink Littered with clouds of silken silver The grass is emerald And the flowers nod their heads in a waving salute as you walk by The wind sings in a way that has you closing your eyes Pausing so you can feel the cool breeze that touches you like a lover who has memorised your skin There's a soft silent stillness You are living in the moment Like the first push on the swings at the local park Where your father taught you to swing your legs to reach the sky It's just you Within reach of the horizon That holds endless possibilities
