A Land Off The Shores of Heaven
By: Derrick Spalding

In a place where dreams become reality,
The tides of new beginnings wash up,
Past thoughts and mix them with new ones.
When caught in the vast radiant ocean,
You’ll be crushed with intertwining calamities.
When you’re feeling completely drowned out of glee,
And you’re breathing your last breath of happiness,
Remember that you have new up coming thoughts,
To suppress the old stressful ones.
Soon you’ll forget them and be sailing off,
To the paradise not far off shores to your heaven.
