Going for a swim

Going for a swim

Going for a swim

Deep into the open sea do I dive!
From the boat and into the ocean blue,
my death from old life to be born anew,
my mind in awe of this new world I thrive.

This wonder makes me glad to be alive!
Oh dearest friend, were you here, that you knew
of the wonder of the deep ocean blue
where the wondrous creatures swim and dive.

Here, my dear, there is not yet frustration,
Here, my dear, there is no sense of despair,
Here, my dear, there's no misunderstanding

There is just an int'resting crustacean
whose eyes carry a blank, puzzled stare
at my carefree look of awe unending.
