By Thompson Emate
It was a small town,
Its pristine beauty served as an endearing force.
The people appeared happy,
Seemingly embraced by nature.
It was a peaceful town,
With no absurdity in its complexity.
Nothing seemed out of place;
It was paradise in summer.
It was a town where imagination flowed freely,
Bringing home its radiant hues.
Creativity spun effortlessly,
Always a willing companion.
It was a town where twilight evoked a strange feeling.
The streets were deserted,
Though it was safe to walk alone,
If you didn’t mind the footsteps behind and beside you
