dondeestanlosjaguares driving to freedom, 65 on the highway
listening to the engine run
my radio is gone, silence is still
humming metallic parts
carrying me across the city

i reach my beach, and i stretch to begin
i walk to the shore, and feel the relaxing wind
my feet make a steady beat
the waves make a lovely roar
silence is broken

little beads start to fall from my brow
like tiny icicles melting in a snowy cave
my breathing picks up
and my speed seems to slow down
my rhythm makes love with the silence

a wave traps my legs
and the fish swim in the sea
birds line the shore
looking for a bite to eat
all along there is little silence

my body is tired of keeping its pace
my lungs are spent from breathing so fast
my heart is working just to keep my alive
the only thing that cools me
is being submerged in the waves

now there is nothing, i'm simply free
silence at last, for my soul to sleep
nothing else is important
its just me and the sea
silence is freedom, when you swim so carefree

pete after our last night together i went out for a swim in the big lake. i knew that it would be freezing, but i was ready bared the cold waters. with only a towel wrapped around me i trodded off the campsite and on to the long beach, leaving my footprints in the sand. as i didn't have my glasses on i could only make up the shape in the distance. it was my father. "good morning sunshine!" he called out before I made it to the lake.

you were peeking out of the tent laughing at me as i ran back up the beach and dived into the tent, putting on some clothes before having to face my father for the next 14 hours on the road home...
