Gazing out into the skies
I sit here and I just exist
There is no material value here
Only the joy of living

The sand is warm under my feet
It gives my tired body a place to lie
On this bed of grinded stone I may rest
And allow the sinful world to pass me by

The ocean is tamed and calm
As it gently brushes against the sand
It sings to me a lullabye so beautiful
An aquatic paradise

Within this ocean lies five stones
Placed there by a force unknown
They are sat there so perfectly in position
Unlike the World, they make absolute sense

I sit upon the largest stone and I look out to the horizon
The ocean and the Heavens meet with lovers embrace
The purples and the reds of the skies dance
Like a married couple on their wedding night

I smile as I sit on my stone
I hug the air around me
I lose myself in this place of purity
For this is truly where Heaven begins...

Before I said that "Permit Me to Dream" is my favourite song of all time - now you're looking at possibly my favourite poem of all time. This poem is based upon the breath-taking deviation "Conjuring Light" by *Solkku (submitted June 27th 2006). This is definately one of the most positive poems I've ever written and it still makes me smile when I read it.

I hope you enjoy it and please check out :iconsolkku:'s work!

You can find this poem in my book 'Permit Me To Dream' which you can buy on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca and other online book stores.
