A Dive into Peace

If I Could Swim

I would go to a cliff, with an ocean beneath it

With the waves crashing against the rocks so high,

I'd stand at the edge with a happy sigh,

The sun would glimmer off the waters below,

And I'd let my hair in it's natural afro state down and let my worries go.

With my dim color gown fluttering in the breeze,

And my heart free from all unease,

I'd take a deep breath and close my tear filled eyes,

The free wind filling my lungs, I feel alive.

And then with a smile, I'd take steps back,

And run without fear along the cliff's track,

With arms wide open, I'd launch myself free,

And jump down into the ocean below, where the real peace could be.

With the sounds of the world drowned out in my ears,

I'd let my worries go and shed all my tears,

For in the ocean's depths, there is no strife,

Only serenity, joy, and the meaning of life.

If only I could swim and live in the sea,

There'd be nothing but peace and tranquility for me.
