The surface
Like a skin
Remains
Unbroken

Beneath
Limbs are thrusting
Powerfully
Lungs are straining
Burning
Bursting
With effort

Above
Eyes are watching
Waiting
As sunlight ripples
Innocently
Across patterns
Of liquid fabric

Two separate worlds
Joined
Without seems
Lie side by side
A shift in one
Swallowed
By the other

Nervous
Minutes pass
As weight
Pushes down
Pressing
Air into water
Longer
Longer
Until

Life
Breaks through
Every fibre
Stretched
Expressing
The miracle of transcendence
The ability
Of existence
In two worlds
