warm, green, blue water
surrounds my feet as I
lazily paddle about
surrendering softly to my
swimmer's will
though they by drops alone could
easily out number my private, gentle
ponder
instead they choose to caress as they
seize me
imprisoning my tired, troubled thoughts
making me come to love their innocently
natural mastery of massage
feverishly at once I am enraptured
to believe that all can become indeed
quite well if
one never leaves the Caribbean..........
