A Glimpse of Paradise
I paused as I passed
Just a glimpse
in a miniscule
slice of time
Held in a bubble
About to burst
A sense of the bizarre
The freaky
Outré and offbeat
Unreal yet lurid enough
As though I’d seen what I should not see
Felt what I had never felt
That entranced moment brought
Mirabile dictu
An exotic pain
That carried with it
All meaning
The key to my existence
The reason I was here
And nowhere else
Why I would live forever
In the collective memory
Of the universe
An imprint
On the Tablet of Time
Fascinating

I am enchanted by your beautiful poem, Roland. Both dramatic and spiritual it carries us
to its conclusion of ” Why I would live forever”.
