Sweet Watery World

A long and hectic day
Incomprehensible voices all around
I walk to the waters edge
Then a splash and all is calm

The water washes off
All cares, pressure, nerves
The rhythmic motion of legs and arms
Working together
Synchronized

All I hear is the soft lull of water
Rushing past my ears
My heart beat 
In time with my stroke
And all is well
In my sweet watery world
