I Dreamt That I Saw Paradise

I dreamt that I saw paradise,
and paradise was now.
Though held behind a mighty screen,
was not for me somehow.
All those I'd loved, and had loved me,
so warm, and close together.
I alone, and none to know
that I was lost forever.
I pressed, in anguish, to that screen,
they slowly turned from me.
An emptiness that none should know,
described eternity.
An icy hand led me away,
across the bridge of strife.
Then I awoke, and how I knew,
the meaning of my life.

And you are keeping it all to yourself, eh?

No, Jerry, but not really as I've lived it. Thanks.
