I took another step

My footprint indenting the sand

I admired beneath me

The tiny grains upon the land

I stared up and the sky

So clear and blue

So peaceful and delicate

Almost seems brand new

A patch of grass

So perfect and green

Life’s usually greener on the other sides

But today’s the best I’ve seen

Water swishes back and forth

Sprinkles softly touch my face

I stand there calm and dreamily

Taking in the perfect place

No room for life’s imperfection

No room to despise

Because as of now

I’m walking through paradise.
