"No Man's Land"


Beyond the trembling waters, lies an island. A place where man can never set foot. A towering tree stands in the middle. The dark leaves shade the ripening fruit people don't dare to touch. Flowers blooming in a bed of scattered grass. Roses pure red, an intoxicating color. Lilies, as white as fresh fallen snow. Baby's breath, such intricate beauty in a fragile shell. The animals populate the tiny island. Birds, flying over head to treasure the beauty in their view. Foragers, wondering what can be touched on this precious land. All we know is stories of this island. But the question is, where is it?

I am a very creative person. I love to read, write, sing, dance and act. Poetry to me is a way of self expression that lightens someone's heart. I love white chocolate and my favorite book is Anne of Green Gables
