PARADISE LOST
By Victoria Raine
The night is still
The stars light up the sky
The moon hangs just out of reach
I feel my connection to the earth
I feel her rise up
to meet me where I stand
I cannot move
I breathe the air around me in
I try so hard to get back
to that youthful state of being
But sadly paradise is lost
I don't remember when
I can't see the moment
she was no longer a girl
The moment when
her eyes fully awakened
to all the tragedy life brings
I wish I could see it
somehow trace it back
to just the moment before
But it's a moment lost forever
I look into the night
and I feel mother nature
all around me
I suddenly feel a wave of sorrow
rush though my flesh
I stopped looking at her glory
Stopped appreciating her beauty
that will never be captured
by even the most
skillful painter's brush
The best photograph
will always be lifeless and dull
And yet here she is every day
Beautiful shades of color and light
I hope tomorrow
to remember this moment
I hope tomorrow
I remember to open my eyes
And maybe if I'm really lucky
she will remind me
in fleeting moments
of how it felt
before I knew I was lost
