Plunging to the bottom of the sea
skimming the coral reefs
avoiding the sharp edges
that once threatened me.
Holding my breath a little longer,
swimming through my underwater garden.
I've no words to describe
what can't be heard.
I've no needs to be met
when I feel I'm drowning,
I have no desire to be saved
from the peace in my mind
that stirs;
in the deepest part of my sea
and all that I hold sacred to me.
Where I've found my tranquility
my heaven on earth
swimming around me
through me
with me.
I've learned to change with the tides
and the constant currents that pull
forecasting undertows
that no longer frighten me.
For it is here on my ~sea~
where I live and let go,
and come up for air
Where I breathe~~~
