From Land To Sea
A sea serpent rides the current
He owns the sea, he soars through the blue so free
Large marble black eyes, scope all surroundings as he flies
Dragon sharp teeth, scare all creatures, deep beneath
Sun rays form a carpet, his scaly fin their target
Has an old journey ended or has a new one begun
Body scales change colors as he soars with the sun
From a distance I close my eyes
I reach, I grab hold, of his sharp scaly fin
Along with the sea serpent, my journey now, shall begin
We ride the waves, together so brave
I smell the sea, it now becomes a part of me
A piercing fin grows from my spine
I’ve change from man, I’ve crossed a line
My two feet now a tail, my skin now covered with dry sharp scales
I can swim above, I can swim below
An internal breath I now know
A feeling of freedom, a blue green kingdom
I feel I belong, the sea sings my song
I shall swim with the whales
Along ships that sail
A new life, a new winning, there’s always time for a new beginning
