Traveling Other Side of a Wonder Land

I took a ride on the other side of a wide Ocean and wilder skies People spoke in different language Only two of us are of our mother tongue That night I really traveled, too, far And never thought of retracing back Until I missed my identity Out of my jacket pocket. I did not ask myself nor did I mind With excitement I kept walking On the beautiful oceanic waves Losing my return track. Then the waves rose really high We rushed into a building Octagon in shape and very clean Ten feet wide thirteen feet long Then the dykes of confusion broke And I understood why we were there So far in an island totally stranger Among the unknowns we, two, together I could not believe there, too, Around us the air could be crisp And the sky could be wide and blue Falling upon us with a sound drip, drip The musical drops of rain from a divine cloud. Yet I feared something could go wrong And might have to face unexpected worse What, if nobody was impressed or phased by Then I felt a strong jerk followed by an earthquake. The dream was over and I silently woke up Since then I have been searching my identity and wallet. On the rough soil of hard world and harsh reality After silently walking off the oceanic waves
