Swan Diving

Swan diving, wet in the skin of the sea beading up brilliance on common place me Freeing the fury and complacency I'm under the pressure of air. Whistling the tune of nature's release I'm fluid and stung by your dark memory Crystal and crackling 'neath ice in the sea like a mountain of green in my eyes Salt of discovery, seaweed and brine wrapping my legs and my freedom entwine pulling me sharply from all that was mine Threatening to hold me in limbo Suddenly, just as the blackness of time the memory currents and liquids unwind I float on last breaths to the surface sublime and promise to marry the sky.
