We’ve always looked for an answer
”Where do we belong?”
The map of home drawn
One spot never found
Over the seas, hills & glowing cities
Paradise is not on the ground
& yet, the walk is long
Beyond all the streets that we see
The roads that capture our feet
With the tracks that wake our eyes
In a realm of everlasting optical illusions
The unexplained beauty
We’ve looked for paradise in the skies
Learning that it was deceit
& then we believe there’s a world
Of a better time
Far away from here
& we move it forward
To our next meeting
To another passing year
& then, we never learn that
Paradise is the moment
The silent
The unknown
The light, anywhere
On a road of endless trials
It’s a deafening heartbeat
A song on replay
A soft touch of longing
& the meeting of smiles
It’s the taming of distance
The beauty of unwalked miles
It’s a spinning dream of now that never dies

Paradise is a song on replay and the beauty of unwalked miles. I like that thought.
thanks, glad you do 🙂
absolutely positively…excellent
thank you so much..
The dreamscape artist returns with another riveting piece that shakes up the formula once again. Brilliance in few words, with each powerful line naturally weaving into the next. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’ll never cease to be in awe of you, and your amazing talent.
can’t think of a way to reply to that.. I’ll just say thanks, & I know you know that I’m truly grateful 🙂

Okay, this was a very complex thought expressed BEAUTIFULLY into words. I struggle trying to achieve this most of the time, and the way you delivered this so well, is honestly inspiring. You have an amazing talent, thank you for sharing this 👌🏾
looks like I’m gonna struggle with expressing my gratitude for awesome comments.. lol… I’m really glad you liked it.. & yeah, it’s good to see some other talented writers on this site.. 😉 thank you so much
“Paradise is the moment

I love the second half of your poem as you start to explain what Paradise is,
culminating with this last line; “It’s a spinning dream of now that never dies”
Which I’ve often considered Paradise to be. TFS
& yet, the walk is long.. it may seem contradictory, but I feel it took a while to learn what it is, that I finally managed to describe in this piece.. thank you for reading.. glad you can relate 🙂
Excellent write Nebojsa! Relatable is the search and inspiring is the answer to lost paradise. I’ll try to take this advice and find paradise in my own way, very thought provoking indeed!
I’m glad if it was that much inspiring.. gotta write more lol.. thank you for the continued support 🙂
Paradise is..
Opening Poetfreak to see that my main man Nebo has sculpted another beautiful masterpiece.
Forever in awe of your mind.
Brilliant, my friend.
wow, thanks man.. just doing what I would do anyway lol
Well… I wasn’t into it from the beginning. Let me explain, it did not look or sound like the best NB. I was soon to understand it was an appetizer, like a Pearl Jam song beginning slowly to end up exploding and the explosion I got. That ending is some of the best thing I’ve read in times. Thanks for the moment.
it can’t be great all the time lol
metallica and now pearl jam? looks like i’m not doing so bad xD thanks so much man.. you know I value your opinion 🙂
It is great all the time! I just didn’t see the big picture from the start!
