Below

All is calm
Steady and serene
The winds blow softly
Or so it seems

Nothing is ruffled
Or out of place
All is perfection
Style and grace

But you're like a swan
You know that I know
On the surface idyllic
But manic below

And no reassurance
Will turn my thought
Cause through your eyes
I know that you're fraught

And right now I can see
The waters are churning
Thrashing and splashing
For peace you are yearning
And right now I can see
You're trying to fight
Thrashing and splashing
With all of your might

But peace won't be yours
Till you stop still
Here, take my hand
Drink in your fill

Of my words, of my voice
The things that I say
Let my arms wrap you tight
Come what may

And now I can see
You're regaining your air
Of utmost composure
Graceful debonair
And now I can see
The stillness inside
Of utmost composure
And a smile so wide

And you're still my swan
You know that I know
Your beauty and passion
Will forever on me grow
