Far Away

I pictured myself far away under a canopy of trees As if I weren't in the city today Feeling the warm sea breeze As I lay on the concrete drive And in quiet closed my eyes Feeling suddenly more alive Picturing myself in a world of lies I awoke and above me saw many a star And not the even distant rumbling of a car And for a second thought I'd gone afar It was just incredibly bizarre And just as I was ready in glee to shout I realized it was just that the power was out And my dream right there was shattered But the five minutes of bliss was all that mattered :)

Very well written Laura- ever in search of elusive bliss. I like how you eased in that it was a dream, nice.
