Weightless in the Water
February 20, 2014
The surface of the diving block is rough,
like sand beneath my feet.
I hope that one breath is enough,
to supply the plunging dive I will soon meet.
The water slaps and stings my skin,
but the cool sense of peace
surrounds me as I plummet in.
I crave this feeling of release.
Blurred blue shapes fill my vision.
I can’t ignore the intrusive sting.
I don’t regret my split decision,
although I can’t see everything.
I savor this sweet and sudden weightlessness,
because with it washes away my stress.
