If Only, I Could...

Lying on a beautiful sand beach,
My eyes look towards the luminous sky;
Gives me the feeling of being a writer, 
Gazing on a white empty sheet!

Ink-blue sea water splashes onto my naked feet,
Its coldness chills the dead cells to react,
An uplifting moment for me to act, 
Daydreaming, about the brighter side of life!

If only, I could read and write,
Then, my unfinished life would be upright,
‘Cos through my works and writings, 
I can influence the world, for the better!
