Echoes of Paradise

Echoes of paradise, reflections in my eyes. Sensations on my skin, when will my life begin? Realisations one by one, of the things that I have done. Some are gone and some still stay, some I had to throw away. But the echoes of paradise, cool reflections in my eyes. Steady drumbeat in my heart, when will my life start? Negativity I let go, positivity now I know. My life has already begun, there's no longer a need to run. Steady pace as I walk along, I'm now able to sing a song. Paradise echoing fresh and clear, strength and wisdom replacing fear.

Written around 1990 after a huge battle with alcohol, of which I won. There was a period of about 6 months where I felt compelled to write poetry and things would come to me in verse, at all hours and any place.
