Vision

I was feeling poetic at work today, so, I wrote another poem. I've never been to a beautiful island where the waters are blue and the sun is golden. I've never built a sand castle in pink sand, nor have I found a sand dollar yet... and yes, my poems still rhyme... =)

Vision

Bathing in the sun's rays
Watching the palm trees sway
Touring the island and its blue sea
We both wonder where we'll be

From the leaves of the palm tree
I make you a crown
On the dried sea grass
You ask me to lay down.

You write me a little note
"I love you", it read
I fold it into a boat
Watching the words spread

I build you a sand castle
Telling you it's our future home
You carve a moat around it
Wanting me for your own

I find you a sand dollar
"It's like you", I said
"Handsome, smooth, and strong..."
You hand me a seashell
"Listen -- it sings our song"

"This is like a dream"
A dream...
...in a golden sunset

"This is like a dream"
A mirage...
... chased false love with regret
