End Of Paradise

I gaze at the ocean
Moving in slow motion,
My feet sink into the sand while
I look around the forbidden land.

My hair waves into the distance
Where I do hope that my existence will stay forever.
A tear crawls down my face knowing
That tomorrow it will be a much different place.

I beam at the unknown creatures
As they too have strange features.
My eyes close thinking of what
Cruel people would dispose of their rubbish here.
