A Place by the Sea [poem]

Leave me here,

in this place by the sea.

I don’t want to wake up yet,

I don’t want to go back.

I could stay here with you,

in this place by the sea.

Just let me stay here,

forever and ever.

Don’t want to leave this place,

this place by the sea.

There’s a place by the sea

where the wild berries grow.

And through the garden gates you can run

to the sanctuary of magnolias and roses,

of blossoms and lilacs.

Let me be here a little longer

let me stay here for just a little bit.

Leave me be

in the place of sacred dreams.

The sun’s wise eyes

perceive all that is.

The moon’s glistening eyes

of stars and shine.

The yawning silver waves

of the sea.

Please let me stay here,

don’t take me away.

I’ll stay with you forever

in this place by the sea.

I won’t leave you alone, now,

if you please let me stay.

I don’t want to wake up,

I don’t want to open my eyes yet.

Please, I’m begging you,

let me stay in this place,

this place by the sea.
