This is a dream.
It was a beautiful day
I found myself swimming
in the middle of an ocean
serenity all around, reflected
in the clear blue waters
bright and pleasing sunshine
cloudless, white carpet sky
quiet movements of families of fish
creatures of all colors, forming a mosaic
Quintessential beauty
in all of
nature's creations
Then
all of a sudden
I realize
I am thirsty
I hope
this is a dream.
