Chapter 1

Somewhere in Paradise


Paradise


A shimmering river of gold streams past.
Looking thick,
But is like normal flowing water.
And as the emerald leaves blow silently in the breeze,
I sit,
A beautiful girl with golden locks,
A golden halo on my head.
My deep-set eyes of ocean blue,
Sparkle with laughter.
My gorgeous pink dress rumpled
And dirty
Is spread out
On the ground.
It’s my favorite of all.
The one that I explore in.
Not really.
I take the dress off,
My tan (and newly washed) breeches underneath,
The much more comfortable clothes,
That I prefer.
I pull off my hideous shawl,
The hot pink color hurts my eyes.
Giggling,
I slip on my loose fitting cotton chemise,
It flows softly over my slim figure.
I am an adventurer,
Not a princess,
I hope my damsel in distress,
Is a handsome prince.
I bite into an orange fruit.
Unlike a fruit you’ve seen before,
Its juice dribbles down my chin,
A pink stream of flavor I taste.
I steal a glance at my reflection in the water,
I am so beautiful
I say.
Then I laugh,
My laugh is a melody of song,
Thick with a tint of honey,
Is what they say.
I shake my hair loose,
Of its prison, a loose bun,
Untop of my head,
Golden curls cascade out of a sparkling brooch
I’m ready for my adventure.
I walk through forest of sparkling green,
Across rivers of extraordinary blue,
Until I reach the place that I started,
The beginning of my short journey,
The beginning of the end of my journey,
I sit down and smile,
Welcome to paradise
