As I build the silicon castle,
I forget my normal-life hassle.
Carefully moulding and shaping the sand,
forgetting the monotonous daily demand.
With the sea breeze and crashing waves,
I've found an escape that everyone craves.
Acting like I did as a child,
forgetting the business life so wild.

The sun on my skin, the breeze in my hair,
able to live a day without a care.
This day, this escape, this relaxation,
this short but sweet, much needed vacation.
My energy sucked out by the worker's leech
is rejuvenated by this day at the beach.
