There is always, an attachment,
Conditions, angles,
That throws in obstacles
Into every new opportunity,
As is the case of opportunities,
In every conundrum,
Paradise is conditional,
With attachment of requirements
Obligations, that needs to be met,
Like the rain for greenery
Farmers plant, rare and harvest
Milk men deliver, and bills do get paid
Glass up for celebration,
Tomorrow we start all over again,
Set on new stages, reality demands
A continuation of the new paradigm
Might favorite line: "Paradise Is Conditional." That would make a great book or movie title. nicely phrased and thought out.

A brilliant piece. The best poets can tell us the ugly truths of life without harshness - as you do!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely piece. Reminds me of all the beauty out natural world has to offer, yet it is marred by responsibility. I really enjoyed reading it.
