An Afternoon Wish

Baby blue sails flapping in the lazy breeze, Cool, gentle waves lapping at my tanned knees; Golden sand warm from the hot sun in the sky, Oh, how I wish to just stop the time and lie! Fluffy cotton clouds chasing the scorching sun, Those white balls giving the yellow one a run; In the grainy sand with dreams of cool lemonade and pie, Oh, how I wish to just stop the time and lie! A caw in the sky and a quack in the water, An avian predator diving for slaughter; Back soars the hunter with a victory cry, Oh, how I wish to just stop the time and lie! The tinkle of ice cream bells with the smell of spicy bhel, The vendors preparing for the sundown to sell their ware; For despite my efforts, the sun still comes down with a sigh, Oh, how I wish to just stop the time and lie!
