What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
Daydreaming🌙
I was quietly daydreaming,
like every normal kid does
building castles in my mind
with doors that never shut.
But suddenly, that day,
my daydream ran away.
It slipped out of my head
like a naughty child at play.
I chased it through my classroom,
past math and geography,
through whispers, chalk dust, sunlight
all shouting, “Dream’s running free!”
It hid behind the teacher’s book,
then jumped onto a cloud,
waved at me dramatically
like heroes in a crowd.
I almost caught it near my desk
but it giggled “Not today!”
Then it somersaulted mid-air
and drifted far away.
I stood there, half-confused,
half-laughing at its style
like seriously, my own dream
just left me with a smile?
But then things turned emotional;
my chest felt strangely tight
I missed the soft imagination
that tucked me in at night.
I whispered, “Come back, little dream…
I still need you to grow.”
And just then, like a magic trick,
a warm wind started to blow.
My dream returned quietly,
like a shy kid after school,
sitting back inside my mind
like it always knew the rules.
It said, “I left you for a second
just checking if you care.
Your heart still kept me safe,
so I knew I’d find you there.”
And since that day, I realised
something beautiful and true
dreams may wander far away,
but they always come home to you.
