Paradise



Soft golden rays embellish the ocean waters
A euphoric sense engulfs the milieu with an arcane solitude
Teal blue waves wash the white sandy beaches
God’s eyes descend with sparkles in the midnight twilight
The crescent moon accents the Supreme Being with its luminescent beauty
This paragon is all consuming to the soul

Mortal whereabouts are unknown,
For Heaven’s light shines early in the morn
No apprehension, no tribulation, no calamity
Such tranquility, such serenity, such peacefulness is what keeps me coming back

Stillness and a gentle summer’s eve breeze flow through my sun-bleached hair
The sound of crashing waves as they sweep the shoreline catch my acoustics
My bottom limbs feel the cooling wetness as my ever-beating heart amicably responds to,
Paradise!

Throughout my lifetime, I have been diagnosed with bipolar I, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. However, no one is actually convinced or definite on any one diagnosis. Nevertheless, I seriously do not need any diagnosis to know who I am. I am Heather M Ryan, and I am beautifully crazy in my own chaotic way; I almost always have a method to my madness. These are my feelings, my opinions, and my own personal thoughts. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but my life hasn't always been that way. I have been at most ends of the spectrum… rich and miserable, poor and madly in love, desperate, depressed, and homeless. Like my brain, I still have yet to find a happy medium in life. The last 45 years have left me in tears, shaking with fear and panic, running from a painful reality and past, the streets in the pouring down rain, homeless praying God would answer my prayers and send help, naked under the stars and in complete awe at how God works miracles just when you think all is lost. God has brought me from the deepest darkest depths of hell into the sunlight and has showered me with love and mercy time and time again. I look forward to enjoying this final chapter of my life with you and anyone else that would like to join us.
