Here I am, under the bright sky
with a dazzling beam and a cheerful eye.
Here in the pasture, where the greens have scattered,
I lay underneath a tree of apples.

I am alone.
I am okay.
I am happy.

Wait, who am I kidding?
This is only a dream.

I refuse to wake,
I refuse to open my eyes.
Because if I do,
my fantasies might vanish
together with the
dazzling beam and the
cheerful eye.

Or if I choose to wake,
I might not wake in time.
The apples must've been
poisoned by the witch
while I slept in peace.
