Paradise Places In Mind Memory Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Shalom Vicky
peace
tranquility
safety
well-being
contentment
success
be with you

it is my second
last final class
with you today

contract
finishes

am bringing
you some life
selected poems
gifting to you

elements of
beauty
insight
wonder
truth
reality
infused
within them

as in you

none
are published
thought shared
with
this world
wrote
for wonder love
of mystery God

joining
aspiring
in that
magic realm
I wish
these heavenly
passions
releases

for you
also
if I could
I would
transcend
time
space
take you

to past most
beautiful
precious places
of my memory
behold great beauty
of lost places
in New Zealand
as they I were

then to share
with you
insight delight
in your friendship
companionship
in those golden
summers
seasons

of beauty
raw feel
see
let
that free
wind
blow
in your hair

dance
with golden
rays
of light
caressing
your face
shine radiant
or let

that invigorating
surging surf
white froth
break sea foam
wave kiss
stimulate
every pore
of your skin

simultaneously
previous time
time passes
season passes
our voyage lives
outward expand
into new horizons
of wave crest minds
