Coming by the water, the tide swept me under. 

The ocean so blue, I had to wander. 

Though it's an ocean so deep, I had to keep searching. 

I was swept off my feet and I had to accept the fact that I had fallen under. 

Under into a pool of wonder, asking myself the reason why I am here. 


Not sure, but surely I'll find out.

Maybe it's because of my doubt, or me trying to make out 

a point for my sorrow. 

But I am sure that this life under the surface is more than just amorphous.

It's an element of life, and it flooded over me. 

Taking over, like clovers in a field of daffodils.


I found peace in this life under, until I had to come up for air 

and see the sky pouring down on me. 

But here I am still,

swept under into an ocean so blue and somehow I knew that I could get used to this view.
