My Little Paradise

Its nestled in a mountain range  

and far from city lights

A place of gentle solitude…

my little paradise

Oasis from another life

where time slows down its pace

A haven from insanity…

the madness of the race

A simple place I now call home

surrounded by a stream

Moonbeams grace the sky at night

and laughter fills my dreams

The giant pine trees touch the sky

mountains topped with snow

The forest hides its treasure trove

at night the afterglow

I couldn’t ever ask for more

each day a new surprise

Another chance to distance me

from tragedy and lies
