Life Below

Keel over backwards, trusting

The lake to carry me

Like a stone, I'm sinking

The water swallowed me

I sink deeply, thinking

That I'd surely drown

But I land at the bottom

Of some enchanted land

There's life below

Where seaweeds grow

There's a city standing

In a jungle of seagrass

Seahorse on the sidewalk

Blue lobsters in the streets

There's life below

Where daydreams grow

This sparkling city of your mind

An image only you can see

Slowly rises from the muddy ground

Floating into

Reality

Sea spaghetti swaying

Straining to the light

Corals in the schoolyard

In a bottle-green night

There's life below

Where seaweeds grow

There's life below

Where daydreams grow

This sparkling city of your mind

An image only you can see

Slowly rises from the muddy ground

Floating into

Reality
