Swimming

Arms reach over and over
Bending windmills
Through the water

Laps across the blue
Lapse of time
To dive into

There are no sharks
In the chlorine bath
Follow the impossible
Invisible path

Eyes shut tight
And fingers fused
Kick until your legs
Are bruised

wonderful visuals in these poems. Easy on the eyes and the mind but knee deep in meaning. Love them all!
