Goggles on and feet wet
now is not the time to fret
35 degrees is what i feel
so slip in the water to reveal
a million mirrored reflections
mouthful of bubbles with rejections
a shadow of myself stroking
across the water stoking
thought i would be gasping
but seem to be lasting
as silence comes to fore
a world different to before
just me and the void
no need to be annoyed
can be anywhere i need
my boundaries are freed
i seek the solace in my mind
the tensions left behind
as each breath i take i see
a vivid blue sky above me ...........
