I envy to dive under and discover the pearls in your vastness of melancholy blue
As the waters open into the distance, the surface multiplies as far as the eyes can possibly view
Since I found out of your suffocating nature, inhibitor of species you welcome into your home
I sit by your shores and beds and ponder why I'm a victim of this abnormal syndrome
Please welcome me too, I wish to cause no harm but to dive amongst your many waves
Cure my helpless condition, unnatural fears and my mental traumas .. Free me from your victimised slaves
Earth bought your companionship before man, watching generations evolve, as did the ocean and sea
Give me an opportunity to be appreciate your existence, for nourishing those who walked before me
Prescribe me some of your countless remedies, what have I to fear you
Teach me how to dive, O precious water, dive into the melancholy blue
