PARADISE

 An untimely beauty with soft dark skin.

She walks with the confidence of a queen strolling along the gold path laid before her.

Wearing exquisite cloths crafted by the most conscious designers of her village.

Her hair is golden with coils shining like crystals in the sun.

Watching her children play and laugh at the elephants and giraffes.

 

She bends down to place her hands in the soil to connect to the vibrations of the earth.

A smile graces her face as the merchants surround her with jewels, stones, and sage.

The horizon blends into the green ocean as the seagulls dive elegantly below the surface.

Music begins to play in the distance.

The drums and flutes harmonize as her hips begin to join the rhythm of the waves.

The breeze overtakes her the wind wraps its arms around her fragile body and carries her closer towards

the beat.

 

Her people are waiting and watching in awe as she moves through the crowd.

Smiling and rejoicing the harvest was graced with abundance.

Her children grab the maracas and the celebration is magnified.

A peace settles over everyone as the flutes begin to play a soothing frequency.

This is my home, this is paradise.
