Paradise

I have, in my mind's eye
An image so beautiful
Of a place I would live
Trees reaching for the sky
Sweet smelling flowers and butterflies fluttering
There would be a cool stream flowing, 
murmuring a sweet song
In the sunlight, running without a care, giving life
There I would lie, 
free from all chains
Free from all the hatred and evil in this world

- Dilip Singh Mutum (1991)
