I am in a new place today.
The sand is pink and yellow, a bit like sherbet. I like it.
The sky is as blue and as pale sapphires and set in those jewels is the sun.
Which I practice staring at.
It's not easy, I squint at first. Peeping through my thick, wet eyelashes.
It's not the colour they say it is in all my books.
It's red, purple, green, blue and yellow
I might go for a swim. I can swim very well in this place.
The water is warm and deep and friendly. Dark but clear.
Here in this indigo world I can see everything much better.
I am not afraid, well not all the time.
I find when I press my toe into the pink grains, it is sweet, very sweet and I can taste
with every part of my body.
This is my place today, I'm going to stay here, see who turns up.
