How do you tell a flower that you are beautiful? How do you tell a sunset that you stun me? How do
you tell a mountain that I am in awe of you? How do you tell the wind that I appreciate you? How do
you tell an ocean that I am thankful for you? How do you tell a forest that I need you? How do you
tell the snow that you make me happy? How do you tell the sky that you inspire me? Most of all how
do you tell an angel that I feel the warmth of your kiss? And kiss me a thousand times.
I went to heaven, I was in paradise where there is no night or day but only presence. I saw a familiar
face and it was the face of an angel who motioned me to come over and sit by her side and I came to
you and I wandered who this could be, so beautiful and young. You grabbed my hand and ran your
fingers through my fingers and you said to me Its me and I said, Who are you and you answered
Your angel. I asked Why cant I remember you and you said, But you can. Then you said, Think
of all the happy times and sad times you have had and see who was by your side. Then I remembered
you and I rejoiced, Its you, its you I cried! And You look so amazing beyond anything I can
describe. Then you embraced me and said, I love you beyond words can say. And I replied, Yes I
know because I can feel your love penetrate into the depths of my soul, it is in describable. And I
could not let her go. For what seems to be an eternity our souls would not let go of each other and we
were for a moment one soul. Then you whispered into my ear, Come let me show you our home,
What do you mean? I asked. A place where you can rest and reflect and hear the sounds of paradise
tinkle your ears for as long as you want. You grabbed my hand and in an instant I was at the door and
it opened as you took me in where I saw colours and shapes in perfect place. It was a home unlike any
place I have been. The ambience of the sun shone not in this place because you were the sun in this
place. In this home I felt a longing and belonging that I have not known, then you said to me with a
smile, That is because I am your home and this is where you belong. I know not how you knew my
thoughts then you explained, In this place we hear the thoughts of our hearts. When you think I
know, then I heard your thoughts, You need not fear anything my love because all things are yours.
In paradise whatever you desire except that which harms others, you may have and enjoy and no one
can take it away from you. You are the king of your own castle and master of your own destiny. Then
you said to me with earnestness, You must go back and soon I will meet you again. I thought, How
is this that I can experience you and love you like I have never known you before and now I must leave
you. Then you said, In paradise time has no meaning and love has no tests. I paused to reflect, then
you continued, If you leave I will come to you but if you stay you will lose me because in perfection
you have no need of me and I of you. Then I realised that I had to choose between paradise and my
angel? If that is so then, I chose you! but before I go I pleaded, please Kiss me a thousand times!
