Theme: Dreams

Synopsis: Have you ever experienced a dream that felt so real? 


The quaint villages and the ridges of Engelberg–

Astounded the globetrotters. 

With the skyline-silver lakes—

That gleamed on the eyes of the White Shepherd. 

Picturesque alps, fondue, and the pigeons with their crumbs—

Were all imprinted on my mind. 

As I reached the city of Geneva, 

The smell of Vanilla Orchids clung to my carob cardigan. 

I was welcomed with cordial dwellers, 

As though they were all familiar people. 

As I gazed on my 3 o'clock—

I was enthralled by the view. 

A beguiling couple on the boat—

Made me laugh in reminiscence;

And formed my eyes into slits. 

Suddenly, the sound of the bells swiftly reached my ears. 

The blaring noise woke me up in an instant. 

I furiously turned off the alarm and sighed. 

Truth be told, the beauty of Swiss was astonishing—

Even if it was just a dream.
