finally finding fate
he had this funny feeling
the possibility of kismet
couldn’t be favorable towards floating
always wanting more
he had to settle for far less

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

closed eyes swaying
a hum of happiness soars
then was when my eyes opened to
a wash of waves coming ashore
a thousand yellow suns
broadcasting light and warmth
saturated sunday afternoon swim
closed eyes swaying
the heat was building, sweat and
circumstance soon tore open the sky
billowing buds of bejeweled blue benevolence
a hum of happiness soars
contemplating clouds of clarity
fussy feathers fidgeting for freedom
swept away wings sprouted wide
then was when my eyes opened to
a modest and soothing splash
the tingling touch of cool waters
hinting at a home encompassing wrap
a wash of waves coming ashore

anchored in your blue eyes watching the drift of tides
swimming in a sea of blue shifting sandbar wet door reveal
backstroke blue divine nestled sleeping shells
submerge serenade sublime simple treasures lure me near
the line of your lips thrill me surplus exhilaration

three word wednesday: drain, epic, nibble
photo: Jason Webber, flickr
35 strokes is all it takes to hit the concrete wall and roll over. two feet firmly planted, push off and begin all over again. a small splash of chorinated water seeps in telling me it’s almost tuesday. cannot help but to nibble at the thought of a perfect workout. in the motion of movement there is an epic passion let loose secreting tiny drops of liquid knowledge one has in exploring the tiny caves of rumination. the drain of desire, the intrusion of attachment, there’s none here only the constancy of connection, water evolution. kicking in a concentrated rhythmic power pattern…i can hear the voice of my coach from 20 years ago…two arms react in a smooth arc of motion…now i’m getting somewhere. the unbearable lightness of being tells me so.
reference….thanks squires
