I went swimming in a black and silent sea
While I was in between
Waking and dreaming

In my mind a knot was gathering
I am afraid of so many things


& I cannot control myself

The water moved around me

Like a cloud of ink
'Til I came upon a lake
The sun has never seen


& I cannot control myself


The fish went wild
Their eyes aglow and seeking heat
Like shards of glass

fitting on past me in the lake below
Life without a moon and stars
Is no life at all

I am afraid of so many things

I am afraid of so many things

But I do not fear the future
What lies ahead is between
me and the universe.


I went swimming in a black and silent sea
While I was in between

Waking and dreaming
