Nullifying Negativity
I have been twenty-seven for many, many years now,
some Viking reminds me that swimming naked in the
warm sea nullifies negativity: the crawl out of problems,
the side stroke of being at ease, the breast stoke born
first in us when we want to hold our head high in the
sea out of caution and dignity, our head skywards
while floating on one's back is something else if no
flying machines appear just the blues and yellows
and white of the above all the love of smart sun
tasting nature's salary of well being in the blue,
or green sea like tea, with white tops as the water is
almost as close to us as a lover, keeping us afloat
in life bouyed up by our children, families and friends.
