As I stepped of the plane that brought me to the other corner of the globe, I knew I was in the new world, where beauty looms around every corner. Colors were just as alive as the people, like a giant oil painting that seems to move and talk on its own. Shapes would come together and form the largest, most beautiful art pieces that are so magnificent, I could do nothing but admire its grandeur. Trees would stand up straight like a platoon of green haired soldiers with large brown stocky builds, as if they were parading me through the street. During the day, when I look up, I could see nothing but the clear blue sky arching down towards the horizon, giving everything below remarkable detail and clarity. In the later hours, a shroud of darkness would give birth to millions of lights that would make it seem like stars have crashed on earth. |

At the end of my journey, I was standing at a cliff's edge, peering out into the vast waters of the Pacific. Behind me was a whole carpet of green, with numerous flags swaying with the sea breeze. A yellow sun shone above my head, casting light over the entire landscape, giving everything under its blanket a warm glow. A large structure with numerous windows and lawn chairs stood next to me like a stalwart companion. My putter was resting at my side when I heard the booming voice of my father to make my move. I walked to him with my stiff tree-like legs and finished the hole, with a clear mind, satisfied to have finally discovered the new world. |

I was so amazed with what I saw that I closed my eyes in disbelief. I thought everything was just a dream, and that my sly mind had painted portraits right in front of my eyes. However, when I opened my strained eyes once more, everything was still there. The color, the shapes, the light, the darkness, they were all performing a dance so beautiful it made me burst into tears. With wobbly legs, I sat down on a soft chair and wiped away my tears of disbelief with my cold stiff hands. The sun was beginning to set, drawing a long orange line along the horizon, while coating the world below with a dull luminescent glow. Shadows started to walk towards the sun, growing longer and longer until they disappeared into the approaching darkness. I then told myself, "Without a doubt, this is true beauty." |
