"Why can't we just stay at home?"
We crossed the tall buildings,
The area covered with trees and bushes,
And at the end of the grey, concrete road,
There was a wooden cabin.
While father remained inside,
Me and my mother went for a neighbourhood stroll,
I stepped down from the creaky wooden stairs,
But as soon as i looked towards the east,
I was mesmerised, my mind stopped functioning.
I saw the ocean, glimmering under the sunlight,
The glittery repulsions as far as my eyes could see,
I walked past the shrubs, the daisies,
I felt my feet dipping in the warm sand,
The mellow sunlight pouring down on me,
The waves approaching towards me,
But as soon as i ran towards it,
My father's taunt woke me from my dream.
I go back to my fantasy shore quite often,
Although it was just a dream,
I felt more alive than ever.
