Swimming At Night

dive in deep from cool cement
chlorinated water above my head
breath held deep with easy glide
swimming with you side by side
under stars and crescent moon
eyes shut tight against the burn
surface break in the still night
as you disappear from my heart's lie

Excellent use of imagery, JB. I used to have a pool and swimming under the stars was always a wondrous activity. Love, Carolyn
