I lost myself into a dream,
skipping along the white sand
that burnt my feet everystep i took
the sun outraged and gleaming
down,
making little sweat drops
run down my face,
the peaceful tides touched
the tips of my toes
giving me shivers along
my legs and arms
I some how lost myself into the ocean, a gigantic wave
swolled me,taking me under,
gasping for air
I wonder when this dream will be over

The author's comments:
I've always had these crazy dreams about drowning in the ocean or getting bit by a shark. So I decided to write a little about it, to maybe over come my fear of drowning.
