STRANGERS IN PARADISE - Return to Love

by Linda Fallen

 

We put barricades up around ourselves

And stand alone, frozen by icy fingers of fear

We hide away from our brothers

When all the time, kindred spirits are near  

 

We are afraid of dying

But perhaps more afraid to live

Is dying easier than living?

As being angry is easier than trying to forgive

 

  We all know our destination

But it feels like a forgotten dream

Man thinks he's outside of Heaven

But all must be well, within the Divine Scheme  

 

Man is reaching out to Heaven all his life

Yet is afraid of the darkest unknown

He feels so very isolated

And sees not the Light of Heaven's Gates when they are shown  

 

This Earth was a Garden of Eden

But we forgot that we reaped what we sowed

We started sowing the seeds of greed

And blocked the Mighty Spirit that flowed  

 

Our bodies grew heavier as we fell into materialism

As the seeds of desire were planted

So we turned away from Immortality

When, by Divine Law, Free Will was granted  

 

Everyone wants to be rescued

Like a condemned man waiting for a pardon

Divine Love WILL liberate all

And we shall return to the Genesis Garden  

 

When a crisis of faith makes you feel abandoned

Remember this can never be so

No longer Strangers in Paradise

Let Love restore what you know.
