My Dream Vacation

I long to escape,
To spirit far, far away 
On wings of my imagination 
From the mundane minutiae 
Of quotidian life.
In pursuit of serenity, 
I'd love nothing more 
To enjoy a week-long sojourn 
To a peaceful beachside resort 
Adjacent to the shoreline 
And repose 
In tabula rasa state of mind,
Unperturbed;
Listening to the soothing sound 
Of the waves, and feeling
The gentle breeze on my skin
And the sunshine on my brow.
My dream vacation is
Any tropical island 
Away from here and now.
