Into the Blue

I drifted into the endless,
        blue water,

as though I was levitating. I didn't
    have the taste of the ocean
   on my tongue,

           but I could see
    coral reefs 
          decorating the ocean
floor,

and a moving spiral
     of zebra fish paving
way for the ever-excited dolphins.

I could see all that
    as I meditated
in the silent air,
cock-tailed with oriental incense.....
