Paradise Lost...Again! Poem by Douglas Nichols

Paradise Lost...Again!



I hear the muffled song of the morning bird...is this paradise?
I open my eyes and wait till blurred vision becomes more acute.
What is this? ...ahhh...A site I am so accustomed to...my ceiling.
I am still here, and it looks as if I'm to face another day.
Well (sigh) ...my beloved one.
Your gracing presence will have to wait for another day...possibly tomorrow?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Even though life can be wonderful and a paradise in and of itself, but relationships and love are what make life rich and definitely worth living. As one grows old, and is left behind by many a loved one, the day when reunification occurs, is greatly welcomed.
