The water is beautiful

The water is so beautiful 

roaring yet peaceful 

waves hit the shore 

Then perform an encore

It’s mesmerizing grace 

It luring embrace 

Is the water so beautiful?

Beauty can lie 

The tide isn’t shy

It pulling me in 

It knows it will win 

I try to deny 

it’s strength multiplies

Is the water so beautiful? 

I am sinking deeper

My lungs have a fever

I run out of air 

As the ocean stares

I see black and white 

I give up my fight

Is the water so beautiful?

I slowly let go 

I yield to the flow 

I must say goodbye 

But please do not cry 

Ocean heard my plea

She knew I wished to flee

The water is so beautiful.
