Literary (Submission): What I Want to Be

A mansion lined with diamonds
Floors made of gold
Filled with wonders, every room
Is this paradise?

The ocean with roaring waves
Salty breeze
Sand beneath my feet
Is this paradise?

A long and tiring hike
Reaching the summit
Claiming your victory
Is this paradise?

An oasis with flowing water
Death of thirst
Cool water in this heat
Is this paradise?

Silences, full of meaning
Exchanging looks, full of bliss
Thinking of what I could’ve been and what I could be.
Is this paradise?

Sincere smiles and hearty laughter
Remembering the little things
Knowing deep down that I am happy and I am free
This is paradise.
