Underwater Contours

“UNDERWATER CONTOURS” Curves and contours testify The mirror never tells a lie Bathroom scale the confirmation Body toning contemplation Sub-aqua training fitness enhances Submerged serenity with sparkling nuances Gliding fulfilment and dissociation Flooding the senses-- underwater salvation Upward blue curves denting the side Stark white lines indicate and divide Soft, silky, satin water caressing the skin Breathing awareness deep from within A swimmers experience provides compromise Muscles respond as minds liberalise Curves and contours deep below and submerged Underwater encounters float boundless, resurged Kim van Breda—February 2013

Thank you Jake. I value comments from a talented poet as yourself. This particular poem is inspired by my swimming training five times a week-- I love the serenity of being far away from "the maddening crowd"
