dverse...oops closed... too late to put this on the site. No matter, was so inspired (knocked mi white socks off and left one in the middle of the sidewalk :) by one particular poem that I just had to put pen to paper so to speak.
head down
strong overarm
nuggety sturdy legs
speed the essence
no time for doubts
currents and treacherous tides
must be considered
if she is to reach
the other shore
swimming to him
across the vast ocean
with that music between them
reeling in her head
keeps her slicing through
those waves
arms aching
her small body
wracked with exhaustion
she treads water for a while
searching for an outline
through salt encrusted eyes
sometimes
she wants to surrender
to give in
to give up
but then he sends a message
via a soft breeze
just a few tantalizing notes
enough to set her off again
powering through those waves
