Paradise

	There is a place that I would like to visit more than any other place that I have ever explored. It is a place that I have never physically been before, but I see it in my dreams. The deeper I get to sleep all the more real it seems to be. The wind blows pass your ear with gentle words to be spoken. I can look to the cloudless sky to see the birds in motion, but nothings quite like seeing the blue waves of the ocean crashing against the black sand beach. The sound of the water puts me at ease and the aroma of the flowers makes it easier to breath. It has to be a beauty mark upon this earth because everything God given has one at its birth. Why should this be any different a little island that the map forget to mention that I hope to just stumble across one day when I go fishing. 
	This island looks like something out of the ultimate travel guide with baby blue water and dolphins that swim on your side. Coconut and pineapple trees for fixing a drink that provide plenty of shade for a spot to sit and think. The sunrise is so magnificent that you wouldn’t want to blink because you don’t think it could happen twice. But it’s equally as ravishing when it happens at night. When I finally do decide to close my eyes for a minute of rest I feel as if I’m being carried to the next level of peace. I start to feel that this sanctuary was made just for me. It is a relaxing oasis that was meant for escaping the overdevelopment of the simple stages of life that the Almighty created for pleasure of the world.
