Paradise Lost

Everything spins and twirls
And I lose sight of the world!

I awake to the sound of water
I lie on a warm sunny beach
Is this a new world?
Is true heaven in reach?

I am astounded by this place
I get up and walk awhile
This world is so peaceful
I have no choice but to smile

The warm days turn into cool nights
Brought in by an ocean breeze
The glow of the sunset to the west
As if this world was made to please

A little off shore nature thrives
Plants grow freely, animals roam
Perhaps to a Garden of Eden,
To heaven I have been thrown!

I’ve lived here for years now
This world is still perfectly thin
No surprise in outcomes
No victory in what I win
nothing to set goals for
no expectations soar

The beach, I once loved
Now fills me with no more pleasure
All I think is a little discontent
Would be as grand as treasure
What’s the point in living
If I’m not fighting?

How can this be a perfect world?
When everything is so sure
How can nothing be wrong?
When everything rises over mediocre
Once the mighty ocean lulled me at night
Now it’s lost it's delight

This dreamland I’ve found myself in
This place I dwell
I must face reality
This paradise is hell
