pastel sun sets and a river that never stops flowing
walks over the bridge every day
and a flight of stairs that leaves me breathless

familiar faces sprinkled all over campus
and friendly hellos that escape my awareness

the green of life, lush and pure
clouds soft as cotton candy and light as rainbows

i dream a new moment every time i blink my eyes
each blink brings to me a beauty anew

i am in an alien land away from home
but at last i find the aliens within my self appeased

in a foreign far away land
i feel my being at ease
