A Swimming Lullaby

take the dip!

A Swimming Lullaby

700 toes going nowhere.
Feet scrambling to find the right toes
The weather of snow surrounds the stances of two legs
Panic, mild and enervating, captures the moment
Winter caught the barefoot of surprise
just hoping to swim in a lullaby.

this could be a really sweet love poem...and i can see it as that...

but i also think of the rescue at the Pole...

and the dangers...and the hope of the good ending, the lullaby.

but yes, literally we are dipping our toes in warm water trying to stave off the heat...and suddenly winter sneaks up on us...and boom. we are frozen.
