Learn from this undread
Come wave or crashing waters down
We all get wet in the sooner or later
Don't fear
Only a few ever drown

Fear is natural, in order to keep you living and breathing. But only certain waves would actually **** you, if you know how to swim.

Cottage Lake

Under the water,
Watching as the silver surface moves.
Quickly calm, as the darkness pours into ears.
The mind at rest,
Apart from the world the silence is best.
The pressure pushing into softest of spaces.

The lake is thick,
Swimming between fingers as if to hold its hand.
Keep on falling,
In a world lacking gravity,
Reaching for something to hold whilst knowing there’s nowhere to stand.

Swimming

I'm sinking
Trying so hard to stay afloat
I'm thinking
Where can I find a lifeboat
I'm dreaming
Of a place far away
I'm drowning
Can I ever be saved

I'm running
To the place in my dreams
I'm hiding
From the monster inside of me
I'm slowing
The fog is catching me
I'm swimming
Trying so hard to stay afloat

I'm trying
Trying to find a better me

Breathing, Swimming, Being

There is more to living
Than just a breath
Or a heartbeat being

Just as there is more to swimming
Than the ocean
Freshwater streams
And the pools filled with meaning

Simply put

There is always more
To be
Than being

I love it when my mind turns off. When my thoughts are no longer thinking and I can finally find myself, simply being, in the words. You know? That peaceful rest where your eyes are full and your mind is quiet with thought?

It's like the settling of the sea after a cup of wavy caffeine. Awake, alert, alive, but free. One with the simple truth of being. I am, though I will not be forever. And THAT is OK with me.

At peace and loving it.

BE!

I Shed Words, Not Tears

A ocean,
an urge
A waterfall all ready to pour out.
But not a single drop trickles down.

It's all in
drowning
and swimming;
gasping
and breathing ;
emotional
and impulsive.

I am crying words,
but there are no tears.

My tears are becoming the sea within. My tears are words that I shed.

[ Swimming hand in hand ]

Swimming hand in hand

isn't easy, we take a rest –

with salty kisses.

This Sunshine (2019)

There is sunshine all over my face,
Oh but when will I see the light?
A bright blue veil covers all of space
With only cloudiness in sight.

And figuring out a way out of it
Feels like swimming in the dark
Being dragged by the undercurrent
Holding breathe to find a spark

Yet I’m bathing in the sunlight
But the wind is growing cold
Merriment remains a surprise
With all the things that I can’t hold

So I grasp onto this feeling
A promise in which I can hide
I call vain hopes my fortress
Holding solitude by my side

I see the light is still abounding
Outside the confines of where I’m bound
All the plants are thirst aquenching
Necessity cannot be found.

Just Above the Water

Swimming in my own emotional landscape,
With my eyes, nose and lips above the water.
Trying to build the ark when the flood has already come,
Never learned how to swim so I am going to drown.

I am just above the water,
Tides rising by the hour.
