All Is Now Paradise Poem by Mark Heathcote

You ask - so I say
I'm feeling fine
I've just had some annual leave
And I'll be back on Tuesday,
And I've missed you!
But I'm sorry I didn't
Find time to approach you.
Cos, it's too painful to explain
But I'll try if you'll forgive me
If you'll give me a little more time
I'll bury my sorrows and entomb,
All my melancholy

And like - the sunshine I'll whisper from a cloud
All is now paradise - outside!

You ask - so I say
I'm feeling fine
But really, I'm cowering deep-inside
And I've missed you!
Oh I'm hoping a rainbow
Will cross the great divide
And touch you whilst-you-sleep
That's what I'm feeling at this moment
But if you'd try and forgive me
If you'll give me a little more time
I'll bury my sorrows and entomb,
All my insecurities melancholy

And like - the sunshine, I'll whisper from a cloud
All is now paradise - outside!
