Dreams we awake with

Atlantis, The palms
Like Ariel, I want to be under the sea
Under, surrounded by water but not inside the blue
Daily I want to watch the sea weed grow
As the fishes hide behind its grey, dreaming of Atlantis
Of me eating sushi in the Ossaino, while they squeal with dread
I want to slide in a water slide within a water slide
‘Aquaman’ would be proud of my ‘Aquaventure’
I would love to watch the rays at night
Swish-swashing in the Ambassador Lagoon
And the heavens, beaming at the earthly wonder
I want to open my eyes, to the murals on the ceiling
Forget my nightmares of drowning
And embrace this celestial rapture
