A Different World

I felt my pale skin go from tepid to hot as it burnt
in the florescent sun.
I heard the sound of children dramatically roaring
with joy.
I saw the shades of the deep blue sea go from
sapphire to sky blue as it came towards me.
I felt the courageous wind blow though my straw like
hair.
I heard the sound of the seagulls get so loud until
I couldn't take it anymore.
I saw the foamy white wash creep up my legs.
I wondered whether I would experience anything like
this ever again.
I just wanted to grasp this moment and never let it
go.
