The Paradise Lost

Unshine

one in my heart
is lost in the dark
one is my love
like a shining sun
a secret path
may guide me once to you
to a serene grove
to a place of my home

I see the rise of mighty ones
I rejoice with moon and the sun
I see the fall of mighty ones
I mourn with moon and the sun
beyond the veils of velvet green
is the paradise unseen
behind the words of old and wise
is the lost paradise 

tell me of evertrees
wood spirits and fairies
tell me of dreams behind
eyes timeless and divine
a secret path
may guide me once to you
to a serene grove
to a place of my home

I see the rise of mighty ones
I rejoice with moon and the sun
I see the fall of mighty ones
I mourn with moon and the sun
beyond the veils of velvet green
is the paradise unseen
behind the words of old and wise
is the lost paradise
