If I tried

If I tried

If I tried to explain it you just wouldn’t believe me:

It’s paradise, heavenly,

Too good to be true

If I tried to describe it my words could never tell:

The truth about beauty and nature,

The world on its own

If I tried to paint a picture no colour would do:

No brush could follow the line

Serenity forms before my eyes

If I tried to put it to music I’d rather become deaf:

Than attempt to mimic perfection;

An unthinkable, unjust task.

If I tried to write it in verse I would end up giving up:

Because this moment, this scene, this feeling

Is far beyond the life I know.
