Welcome to Eden
It’s so good that you’re here
Let’s fly through this tour
It takes many a year

As we get going
You’ll grow in your knowing
We will keep on moving
Without any doubt

You may feel queezy
And it may not be easy
But for you there’s no option
To sit this one out.

Leave your bags at reception
It will aid your elation
Just strap on your seatbelt
It’s the ride of creation

We’ll point out the exits
But hope you stay on
To enjoy the great view
Together as one

You’ll love it, you’ll hate it
You’ll curse and berate it
You may impress all the others
But you’ll know if you fake it

Don’t get distracted
Keep an eye on your heart
For although we are moving
We don’t want to part

You can decide
How your journey unfolds
Your internal pilot can take the controls
Don’t fear the power or strain to control
Just switch to ‘soul auto’
Let’s rock and roll!

Look out of your window
It’s all there for you
Just watch it, enjoy
And cherish it too

There are the others
Your sisters and brothers
Your fathers and mothers
Your friends and your lovers

Take care to tread lightly
Don’t walk on their wings
For they too must fly
And discover all things

There are the riches, indulgence and fame
And over that hill is a promise that’s lame
But we’ll stay on this path
You may think it’s a shame
But really - let’s stick to the reason we came

Your window reflects
Sorrow, pain and insanity
But do not react with hate and profanity
The window’s reflection is clouded illusion
In this perfect garden
There is no confusion

Here is the stillness
It’s here day and night
If we stop, look and listen
It’s there in the light

The fount of all knowing
The whole and the part
Transcending dimensions
The now in the heart

So we’re here at the ocean
With it’s wind, surf and tide
Magnificent, powerful and scary this ride
We’ll scan the horizon
What does it hide?
It’s a trick question though
- it’s the love that’s inside

We’ve arrived at the exit
Are you glad that you came
Through twists turns and turmoil
Did you remember your Name
Have you learned
Were you crushed
Did you start once again
Were you bold
Did you fight
Were you weighed down with blame
Did you fly
Did you crawl
Was it all a big shame
If is was then we’re sorry
That wasn’t the game

You got the ticket
Through love and affection
Your carriage: your body
Formed in perfection
The fuel is the love
That powers your breath
It saves us from fear
of ending in death

Enjoy it.

I liked the idea, but some ofthe rhymes were a little tenuous; 'There are the riches, indulgence and fame
And over that hill is a promise that’s lame' for example. But overall, a nice job. I particularly liked the first 4 stanzas.
