O To Swim In Memories

When came for a swim
In what looked to me like dream,
Water nor worries, 
We swam in old memories,
Or so did it seem.

To recollect and get lost in memories bring us a feeling that makes our hearts float in reverie. A short poem that carves a deep hallow in the soul. Brilliant as ever.
