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.
