Paradise
What I would've entered for the Sensational Challenge
A tropical breeze is cold to the touch
I feel the ocean on my skin
The sand massages my toes
The sun warms me from within
I'm served a fruity mai tai
I taste the island culture
I inhale the salt of the sea
My soul swallows the coconut agriculture
I can smell the sulfur of volcanoes
A strange mix of ash and algae
This place takes my nose on an adventure
From tiki torch smoke to rain-soaked palm trees
I can hear the waves crash on the shore
A grand booming sound of thunder
I fall asleep the croaking frogs
As they lull me to slumber
I see a land as big as the whole earth
Covered in a green and lush blanket
I could live here forever
But if it's just one day, I'll take it
