Swimming Through Bliss

 

At home in the foam
the oceans I roam
I move from place to place
with the water I displace
as I swim through the sea
the water and salt evaporate me.

   Soothing the sounds that reach my ear
the seagulls and otters chattering away I hear.
Looking up at the spray catching my eye,
the sun, the sounds, the sights, I started to cry.
Beauty abounding everywhere that I look
sea surrounding me I savor the surreality in each little nook.

   Outstretching your hand, you reach for a cloud,
the shadow it casts an ominous shroud.
Watching in wonder and aw, the clouds stack high.
Amazed as the waves begin to pick up for a storm draws nigh.
Crashing about, the waves, and the wind, and the lightning crack.
Rain pounding before you, thrusting you to and fro, slapping your back.

   The motion continues to calm.
The sounds simply sooth all the noise away.
The light languishing lovingly on luscious glowing skin.
She swims slowly beneath me a giant blue whale slumbering past.

   Back to the ocean, at home in the foam of the sea.
the water and salt evaporate me.
Swimming through bliss not a care in the world.
Melting away as the wonders of the ocean call you to her, call you home.
To the water, and salt, and the sea, and the foam.

Thank you both of you Johnny and Kenneth. I wrote this after I had just come back from the beach in Coos Bay Oregon, I captured the foam and such but failed to make any mention of the crags and stone and starfish I saw as well... You are absolutely right Johnny the ocean is one of my most favorite places to be. That and in the middle of the woods with nature all around me.
