Paper Boats

Under the sun’s first dancing rays, The rocks were washed then varnished And glowed like jewels set in chrome, That beautified my dream's fancy. Paper boats hopped along the quay And wandered off with roaming ships, Then larger crabs in state of fear Got washed up by a unicorn, Frightening the hard rock pools Till paper boats drowned, out of reach While throughout this nightmare, I cried Deepening my futility As I stumbled inside my head.
