Paradise

Paradise is thought of as the place at the end of the lane.
But paradise is not for everyone, necessarily the same.
For a writer it may be a laden pen and ink.
For a poet it may be a peaceful place to think.
Paradise may be a place with sandy beach and sun.
Or it may be an open space for happiness and fun.
Paradise we search for, as if we were left behind.
Paradise we look for, but how often do we find?
