Note to Dalia:
Here it is, Dal. the one you've been asking me to post. Enjoy! =)
Note to other readers or whoever this may concern (a.k.a. readers), I wrote this way back when I was going through a "beach craze", and couldn't refrain from sifting through my memories of the many beaches I had visited, the last one being when I was..er...in Primary 4, I think? I kept bugging my mum - yes, I'm admitting it - to arrange a holiday for us, but to no avail. So, I HAD to come up with another way to satisfy my frustrated yearnings. Thus, I give thee The Poem...
Catching the Sunrise
That one day when I awoke
In a chalet near the beach,
Waves one by one on the great rocks broke,
Yet, the calmness could not be breached.
While everyone was still safely wrapped
Within the deep realms of slumber,
I was carefully putting on my jacket
So as to become a hunter.
I crept out of doors and put on my slippers,
A little gingerly.
I would hunt for peace and seashells,
Along the deep, green sea.
Like little plains of powdered silk,
The sand was cool and soft.
I left my slippers back behind,
Deciding on a walk.
On and through the welcoming grey sand,
that I could feel over my feet,
I stepped into the gentle sea,
And the sky began to lit.
Streaks of gold was smeared a cross
The dim but light blue sky,
While purple, pink, orange, and red,
Seemed to be just passing by.
Each and every cloud around
The birth of this new morn
Was stained with this wonderful coloured blush,
that foretold of this one dawn.
Such majesty, mystery, beauty and wonder
Seen in so close a sky,
Seems to embody that which we
Cannot achieve though we may try.
Seeing this in mortal land,
Where life ends and first began,
I cannot help but try to imagine and ponder
The greater possibilities of Heaven.

I hope whoever reads it like it, but it does seem to be asking for a little too much. It's funny, you know. The way one thinks one's done a good job, but then feel that light touch of embarassment when others read it, I mean. And it gets worse when someone actually LIKES IT. *whimper*
