Complexity and Perspective

In nature’s pool, away from the moon
jellyfish, those rose tinted wonders
of illuminated buoyancy, my ankles avoid
the terror of tentacles where a perfect
CocoCay day, would not be, to be stung.

In nature’s pool, absorbing the sun’s zeal
and sighting seagulls above the waterline.
I see, with my itty body immersed in manifold
drops - the sea and sky glide overhead
in camouflaged wings of turquoise. Oh God!

Complexity and perspective, latitude and
longitude - yes, God is that specific - shows
up where we are. This poet’s grappling
with weak words. Oh God! Your glory
swims all around, flies over me…I jump with joy.

Never been and don’t want to, but perhaps when you live by the sea it is inevitable. Hugs ~ Kim

Nature has its beauty, both in the water and the sky, each has its dangers, but we see God's glory in all things, Very nicely penned Kim, watch those ankles!
