Spring Paradise

Hoshita Undella (Age 14)

Hoshita Undella (Age 14)

A cool breeze blows across, entrancing me with its magical whistling.
Like a fantasy, the blooming flowers engulf me in an embrace...I'm the one!
A refreshing tune fills my ears as I sing along with the finches, so soothing.
Aimlessly running into the wonders of nature, I'm hit with the golden rays of the sun.
A rainbow blooms in my heart as I'm consumed by the world around me;
A stray tear escapes my eyes, falling to the dew drops...becoming one with many.
My feelings in a frenzy - joy, love, excitement, family, satisfaction - I'm free.
The waves come crashing in my heart...quenching my thirst, my curiosity aplenty.
My eyes grasp the colors - bright green leaves, vibrant purple flowers in the midst of the fantasy.
Suddenly, tiny rain drops start patting me... closing my eyes, I lean up to taste the sweet bliss.
I'm broken away from the paradise as I open my eyes...dazed, I move to my balcony.
The glistening moon shone down upon me, the light filling my senses, saving me from the abyss.
I look around; it seems just as I felt, but it simply cannot last.
These wonders are bound to leave me...dissipating into the past.
