Perfect Paradise

Endless golden sand

Pressed warm beneath my feet

Cool wind blowing off the sea

Is a lovely added treat

Snorkelling down the crystal clear ocean

Astounding shades of blue

Fishes bask all multi-coloured

The term ‘paradise’ is true

A water snake swims into sight

Majestic in its ways

Black and white patterns dance

I could stay and watch all day

I break the surface to catch my breath

Can’t wait to go back down

I submerge again and the snake is gone

I gave a little frown

An hour had passed, I returned to land

I felt that it was best

I was getting tired from all that swimming

I should really have a rest

I clumber upon my warm deck chair

And pop on my sun shades

I recline the chair so it’s laying flat

“Man, I got it made!”

Hours had passed as I sat up straight

The sun was starting to set

Pinks and purples and even some red

I’m not ready to go yet

The time had come to go back home

Much to my dismay

Time to go and face reality

I’m glad I got away.
