Slicing through water clear and warm
At peace with myself, one with the ocean
Muscles straining, slowly rotating my arm
Heat generated by this perpetual motion
Conscious, rhythmical intake of air
No thought beyond the next move
Leaving everything behind, being where
Nothing counts but staying in the groove
Diving to the bottem where the corals lay
Graceful moves, an underwater dance
Wildly imagining being a Manta Ray
In the oceans limitless expance
Coming up for air, with a breath so deep
Cool sweet air rushing boldly in
Filling the lungs in one big sweep
With droplets of water running down the chin
I switch from breast to a dolphin stroke
Slapping the water with my feet
A happy dolphin I want to evoke
Thinking of its beauty with every beat
Turning on my back I slow and relax
Looking up into a sky so endless and blue
With a lonely airplane painting its track
A soothing picture and incredible view
The ocean holds me like my mothers womb
My worries drowning one by one
Slowly disappearing into depth and gloom
Freeing my mind, so all I see now is the sun
