Dream Boy

He stands towards the ocean
As if challenging the waves
His eyes are all misty
And are dark as large caves


The wind moves around him
But he does does not move
The water doesn't touch him
Making no attempt to soothe

He looks really troubled
With the moon on his face
He grabs hold of himself
In his own arms embrace

He turns to leave the water
And ahead doe she stare
The waves wash away his footprints
As if he were never there
