You
arrive on an island. Write a description of your first impressions of the place
and its people.
Setting
As I
placed one foot out from my wooden boat, and the next foot out, my feet decided
to plant itself into the sand. My eyes felt like it didn’t know how to blink at
that moment as I was awe-struck by what my eyes witnessed. In front of me was a
place filled with the unending grains of golden sand, as if the whole island
was made out of gold itself. Shimmering blue waters that sparkled in the presence
of the sunlight encircled the island. Greenery spread out all around the
island, with patches of different coloured flowers that grew among bushes
occasionally. In a distant, was a majestic waterfall that looked like a sheet
of blue velour swishing down, its edges hemmed with whipped-white lines. The
water thundered down into the pool like a gigantic waterspout.
Positioning.
Just as I arrived, it so happened the sky began to glow as the flaming orb rose from the horizon and ignited the sky, causing it to burst into a bright, passionate mix of scarlet and yellow. The clouds had no place in the morning sky as the majestic sun reigned supreme. The colours of the sky blended perfectly with the colours of the scenery. Its ineffable beauty was like a masterpiece painted by Picasso that came to life, lying right in front of my eyes.

Approaching.
As I was finally able to take control of my body, I walked towards the island, with my feet brushing against the silky, smooth sand. The feeling of the sand in between my toes reminded me of my childhood where I spent a reasonable amount of time at the beach. The stream of dark, glossy waves falling over my shoulder swayed to one side as the gentle breeze blew. Palm trees swayed with synchronisation, as if it was choreographed dance.

I
rested my eyelids and instantly, my ears could pick up the unnoticeable sounds
of nature. An orchestra of birds chirped harmoniously to a melody that soothed
the ears of a person, the leaves rustled softly in the breeze as they fell and
fluttered like snowflakes. The calming, repetitive sounds of the lapping waves
came together in gently, a hypnotic melody, casting a spell of serene tranquillity
over the mesmerizing scene.
Arriving.
From a distant, I heard the sounds of words being said, though I could not make out what the words were. I started to regain my sight as my eyelids gradually lifted. Tiny figures from afar were nearing towards my direction. There were humans living in this place that seemed like a dreamed paradise, how fortunate for them to live in such a place, I whispered to myself. I jogged lightly towards them, eager to meet them.

Leaving.
Finally, we were close enough to communicate with each other as we shook hands and introduced each other. The smiles and excitement on their faces were welcoming and inviting, as if they had known me for ages. As they spoke, they were filled with energy and liveliness, their personalities made one feel like a part of their family. Their characters fitted perfectly with the view of this paradise island, a place where the world seemed flawless, a world where there’s the insignificance of money and fame. After my personal encounter with this place, I finally believed there was a heaven on earth.
