I Could See the Sun
I could see the sun
I start grabbing at it
Trying to move up closer to it
So I can feel the rays on my face
And restore air back to my lungs
The faster I waved my arms
The more it seems that I am not getting anywhere
Running out of breath
Can’t hold it much longer
The salty water stings my eyes
But I can still
Still see the sun
Praying that I can hold out
Because the sun is getting bigger by each stroke
I am starting to feel the heat
At a steady pace I keep on moving up
Closer and closer
Bigger and bigger
I see the sun
Finally my face feels the cool breeze
I fill my lungs with air
I feel the sun
Now where is the land
