Napowrimo Day 24 - Ripples
Published on:
#posts #poetry"It's been a while," the water whispers
as I enter, inch by inch,
"but what's a few million years between
friends? I know why
you abandoned me for land. I forgive you"
Every part of my body
is held so tenderly as I submerge my head,
the cold slowing all
anxieties. I realise I have always been a wave,
never the same from
one moment to the next, always dissolving
into surf. I watch
my worries float away, turn into foam.
I kick forward,
make the first stroke and the water murmurs
"Welcome home"
Prompt was "Why are you swimming and how long are you in the water?" from the Poetry from the time of being alone group. I love swimming and miss it a lot.
