Missing

The Missing Boy The farmer boy had his knapsack on and walked from the inland, he had not seen the ocean only knew about it as a dream he wanted to be a part of. At every milestone a maid telling him to turn back go tend his cows. When seeing the wondrous ocean he walked on it towards the sinking sun as it painted the ocean glittering golden. No one had told him it was not possible to walk on water; yet he did. He had been observed a boy’s shimmer across the sea, many thought they had seen an angel. Boats were looking for him with lanterns, and sirens blared. Dawn, gleaming sun on blue sea and the boy was a ray of sunlight.
