slip,
silently into,
the water now,
with quiet ophelian grace
break ,
the tension
lying,
crying,
within mirrored surface
and breathe
the new world in
rinse,
repeat,
move forward.
leave the lost thoughts behind,
to scatter like
cherry blossom petals,
shed
from a dying mind.
watch
the ripple spread
concentric in it's flow
feel
the water's
silk, smooth, pleasance.
luxuriate,
in its embrace
rinse,
repeat
and flow.
grateful
for the calmitude
rinse,
repeat,
and know.

leave the lost thoughts behind,

grateful
for the calmitude

50 laps at the local pool.
