Water mutes the world Of all the loud sounds nearby I get lost in my thoughts Down here there is no time I could run in the sun And hope my joints will forgive me I could wade in the lake And find solice in the vast sea Each breath is calculated Every gasp of air is planned Like a sweet meditation If I were crisscrossed on land Don’t call my name Nothing can be heard When I’m submerged in my safe space I can’t hear a word
