Nice poem - I too love the water (altho I've made the mistake of turning my back on waves, maybe two-three times) - but one of my life rules is "if I'm near water that's safe, I wade"
I like your idea of wading - and the thoughts that come from that.

This is so creative and interesting. Dreams are fascinating aren't they? So much can happen in them, that you wouldn't think of in waking life. It would be great to control them. Best of luck in the contest.

    Yes they certainly are, this one wakened me at 2:30am. I had to write about it. Smiling back!

Yes, that's how it is often. Sleeping, dreaming, waking up, all through the night. You say it well. The nights are full of strange dreams and sometimes when we awaken we cannot fall back asleep for thinking. I'm not sure if this is your message but it is what my mind conjures when I read your words.

    Raffealina, precisely what transpired at 2:30am. Got up and wrote for two hours, so glad I?m retired to survive these type of nights.

This is an excellent 20-word depiction of the images remembered from a pleasant dream, upon waking.
Here's hoping you are rewarded in the contest!

I think you did a great job in creating this sense of the stream of consciousness in the alliterations and rhythm and echoing rhyme effects; we really feel the flow of movement in the language. The vision itself is elusive; much like a dream. It could maybe use some kind of poetic image, to reveal a suggestion maybe, of what that vision is that seems so important. All you need to give is a suggestion. Let the reader fill in the blanks estory
