thursday’s we write poems no 29: swimming

been surrounded by water
since i can remember
the slosh and sway of warm liquid
turning and twisting
kicking and kayaking
floating in fetal formation
my heart beats to the
universal design of life
i hear her harmonic voice
composing the way
here i am a few
million breaths later
on my own unattached
surrounded by salt water
blue wave crashing fun
sun soaked nirvana
beneath the pull and push
of seven oceans
and worldly shores
i find my way

hello….tnx for visiting my blog,,more power to u
A beautiful experience. I love to swim, and I love the way you rendered this experience. Nivana, to be sure!
This poem encapsulates perfectly my own feelings: water is my “home” element, like you.
this is true and blue and lovely…
this is my favorite part
“here i am a few
million breaths later
on my own unattached
surrounded by salt water”
it’s always great when we can find our way. i love the water too. seems i’m drawn to it. and lately, i’ve found myself at the nature preserves ponds enjoying the sights & sounds of nature. beautiful poem. hope all is well.
