Typing away....

Lilies were rare in this part of the planet. They only bloomed on the south side. Closer to the light. It was thought that the most fertile of soil was housed only in their plot. They were also thought to be the only type of flower that would bloom anywhere on our planet. It was not often that we had the moments in time to lay on the floor and explore the world with our senses. To look to the sky and see its hues. To distinguish between the dark tones and light tones between the sun's rays.

To experience the lilies, for the first time, is the biggest treasure one is allowed here. To be chosen as a child to see their wondrous excitement of the senses, filled every man, woman and child with delight. Unfortunately, only a small percentage were allowed the privilege.

This time in paradise, for as short as it will be, will transport me from my life, to a place in my mind where this moment will live with fervor. Even after my body stops working, my spirit will take this gift with it. To hopefully return once more.  Even though it was unexpected, we held hands and took in their beauty. We stayed until we were sure someone may spot us. We left, unknowing of what might come after. We left, knowing we were on the right track.
