Summer Dream

When I emerged from that rough sea
I wore a crown of seaweeds in my hair
Because the mermaids whispered to me, 
"Our home, please do take care"
I looked around and saw rocks
Staring horribly at me, yelling silently, 
"Stop wrecking us! Stop the clocks!"
I felt the gentle pushing of a tiny wave
Tugging my feet, as if shooing me away
I heard its cry, or was I just deceived? 
"Go home, don't scathe me."
Nauseated, I blinked faster as I might,
In a split second, blinded by the raging sunlight.
