Oh to swim

Liquid poetry

Been so long since I went swimming Hopes had been progressively dimming

What with social distancing And face masking

“How do I swim?” I thought Private pool access I had not

Finally, the day came for a dip And though the air had a nip

I ventured on with some hesitation But all was forgotten on the occasion

As the water engulfed my body whole And peace inundated my very soul

I kept staring at the cerulean skies The sun, moon, clouds with starry eyes

The trees waving at me with their leaves I wondered if they had any cares or pet peeves

Eyes closed and body floating I tried to experience the innate feeling

In that single moment, I knew unbridled bliss Never realized how much I missed the water’s kiss.
