How to swim

Sweet kisses from your salty lips

Basking in the sun

Bitter notes in her smile

Will they ever come undone?

Run its course, maybe miles

As my chest fills with love

Glimmer hope from a child

As below, so above

The sky touched the sand

Past the point of no return

Stroking hair with my hand

I can feel the weather turn

As it burns on my skin

A rush from within

If I ever drown in sorrow

Teach the children how to swim
