I Swam in Ocean Blues

I swam in ocean blues
Waves covering my tanned skin
Cooling the sun's anger
And my own.

I watched my chaos get taken
With the tide
Anxiety sinking to the depths 
My mind breathed out.

It's all more peaceful a little way from the shore,

The shore.

Where people are sick and dying
Where the earth begs for its groans to be heard
Where whoever shouts the loudest wins.

But I swam in ocean blues.
I lived happily.
