Rebirth of Apollo

Your muscular body glistened As warm golden streaks of sun Streamed down on you You’re standing in the lake In the level of your sinewy thighs Where water is solemn and blue As if your ember like body Is dipped in the blue To cool off the hotness within Are you possessed with the spirit of Apollo? You bend your body Hands stretched forward Curved back Ready for the dive, Indeed you steal The grace of his bow! You fling your body Towards the water In an instant- Waves rippled From the center of you Bullseye! everywhere you plunge. Indeed you steal, The accuracy of his arrow! Now I’m convinced That you are indeed An embodiment of Apollo!
