As I close my eyes
my senses know no bounds
my body becomes weightless
and my joyful song resounds
I try to find my bearings, and
I hold on to myself.
I've never put someone so close;
My *self upon a shelf.
Every fiber of my being
has room to stretch and grow
my steps spring forward lightly
and my smile is wide, aglow!
So come unto me, siren.
Give me room to grow and fall.
Sing for me a beacon; silly boat
Is sinking slow.
I swim to you in haste
my hair flowing wild and free
and water courses around my limbs
as minnows accompany me.
And so we're freed by water,
Unalone and unafraid.
Need no more one breath to take,
Nor single blessing said.
