Paul Hartal - The World Has Changed

The world has changed
Because you left it
I feel your presence
But where are you now?

I know that you are alive
Memories do not descend to the grave
I touch a flower and touch your soul
I talk to you
And you return at dreamtimes.

You are in heaven now
You are in paradise
But where is paradise
My angel, my darling?

Some say the Garden of Eden
Was an island in ancient seas
In Bahrain or Babylon

Others say
Paradise is an inner chamber
On a magic astral plane
On rainbow wings of love.

In enchanted castles of the soul
Flames in every corner
The love of beloved soars
Along corridors it flies elated
The rhapsody of spheres.

And when night falls
In gentle harmony
The golden door of dreams opens
And we walk together again
Hand in hand.

Paul Hartal
