Bem vindo ao paraiso
We are travelling, slicing through the water
toward a new paradise, leaving behind
the familiar. The land of sunshine
and smiles, where the Savior protects
the Brazilian sand, is unfamiliar to those who
hail from a land of cold handshakes
and distances in between. Here, we were
told to be wary of strangers, but
they were wrong. We had found
a home. “Welcome to paradise,” indeed.
