Ah, for a moment I was lost in a distant daydream

Ah, for a moment I was lost in a distant daydream
The world before me, was not as it seemed to be
There was something most pleasant and alluring
Beckoning, drawing me towards it

But I could not see it clearly
It was more of a feeling which entangled me
Warmth, soft cool breeze
Gently caressing my skin
And drawing me in

To feel it's touch
Upon my face
So soothingly soft and still
Oh, to be caught up in this thrill

As awakening for the first time
To the break of day
The coolness of the early morn
In which a new day is born

All is fresh and new
The earth smells so sweet
As it discharges its dew
Oh, to drink in this view

As though times passing
Were as tender as the waves at sea
How they flock around me
And soar out from the shore
And return much stronger
Than before

They toss, and turn
They bubble and break
And slither softly and slowly to shore
Once more to cleanse
And wash away
And carry off to sea
These dregs of debris
