Where am I?

I can hear the splashing sounds as the paddle cuts through the glistening blue water.
Alternating with my shallow breathing sounds as I wipe away sweat from my forehead.
Is this a dream, or am I in the middle of an ocean with nothing but a kayak?
The brightly orange colored boat looks scaringly too real to be a fantasy
The milky white sky, the lush green mountains with snow peaks makes up a panoramic landscape in front of my eyes but in that moment of solitude which I have always craved for I now yearn for nothing but a mortal somewhere around.
There seems to be no end only blue waters yet I keep on sailing in the hopes I would find a shelter
This could very well be my last adventure.
With parched lips and a growling belly, the arms refuse to move.
I give up, surrender to the nature as I lie down on my back
The gentle breeze pushes me to a deep slumber.
