Swimming in the Sky, Flying in the Sea
Have you looked at the skies from the heavens
When up becomes down
Rising into lucid water
With your eyes above the clouds?
Misty darkness shrouds you
When starlight fades away
When you see the end of the shadows
And the sun bursts through
Flickering through the watery grave
Little lights peep down at you
While, futilely, the water grasps at gold
Keeping the light from your view
Yet when the water disappears
And all the eye can see
Is darkness
When the end of the darkness hits you
Your toes freeze cold, your breath
Seems to stop
And so I soar among the fish in the deep blue
With winged monsters surrounding me
I look down
To see the reversed sky
Reflected in the heaven's eyes
