My Paradise

-part 1-

As I recline my head back on to the velvety sand, I allow my eyes to stay open. Allowing them to gaze at the last rays of the setting sun, that were finishing, bronzing my skin to perfection for the day. As I go to thank the sun for its service, the sun sends its gratitude back, through a pastel sunset. The colors looked like they belonged in a painting. The deep royal purple, rolled into a darkened fushia, which blended simultaneously, with a bright, brilliant, burnt orange. While the sun glowed a deep, dark, golden yellow.

Then when the first star of the night, towered over the majestic sun, I grabbed for my dark flare blue jeans and my white tank top. I quickly pulled them over my swimsuit and started walking down the beach, with one hand holding my purple flip-flops and the other trying to get my hair out of its bun. I knew that I had succeeded, on getting my pony-tail holder to release my hair, from its imperious grip. When I felt my damp, some-what dry, wavy from being in a bun all day, hair, hit my bare, sun-kissed shoulders.

I hadn't noticed that I had been walking for a long time, until I saw that the dawn of twilight, had filled the sky. The deep royal purple had now fallen so low that, it could be kissing the ocean. While layers of gorgeous blue, deep sapphire blue, were now dominating the sky. Then I saw that more stars had come out and how they looked like sparkly, sparkling diamonds, that had been woven into the soft, deep, sapphire blue blanket that we would call a sky.

Next thing I know, I'm jumping back out of surprise, because apparently while I had been admiring the stunning night sky, I had continued walking and walked right into the cool, crisp, clear, water of the ocean. After realizing that it had been only water I had stepped in, I allowed my feet to walk right back and enjoy the feeling of warm, gushy, wet sand squirming its way through my tottwes-not caring about the bottom of my flares.

After standing there for sometime I noticed that it was getting late, not only by the sky darkening but also by the tide changing. So I then decide to sprint back to my cottage. Where upon my arrival, I noticed there was a silky ribbon tied around my doorknob, with something dangling from it.
