Amidst the rolling hills and verdant green, Lies a land of arcane, almost Xanadu if seen. A place of ariose where dreams are born, And the sun rises each day as an auric crown. In this Elysian land, time seems to stand still. Worries and troubles fade away, as if by will. Here, one can find peace and tranquility. The beauty of nature is its canorous serenity. Glory in magenta and gold hues in the sky The birds emit an opera of tunes as they fly. The aroma of fresh flowers floods the air. Trees soar high, their limbs rising in a blare. Going upward, I have faith in my heart. Through gloomy slopes and twisty parts. The peaks are starting to come into sight. Their tops were aurified with golden light. I wander through this nebulous land of bliss. And fathom a sensation of perspicuous peace. I realize that I have embedded my idyllic place, An oasis of diaphanous passion and grace. Almost akin to Xanadu, an island of dreams. It motivates me with whispered schemes. The seal of the blessing of a utopian paradise A realm where loveliness is eternal never dies.
