Swimming In the Moonlight

When swimming in the moonlight In a warm, secluded place No need of a restricting bathing suit, Since there’s no one else in sight Relax and enjoy the solitude, Bathed in soft glow of moonbeams Meditate on nature’s finest gifts And revel in your heart’s delight, Not so often available, it seems Take time to explore your dreams. written October 9, 2021 [For Brother Jacob]

Brother Jacob and I both love this one I bet! I love the freedom on swimming in my birthday suit; I used to have my own pond.

I think it is fabulous to be able to swim in the moonlight. I forget to ask Jacob if he was in the buff (probably taboo!).

It's truly an honor to pay tribute to a fellow poet. Nicely done, Milt.

Thanks so much, Jenna. I believe he spoke of swimming in the moonlight, which inspired this little poem. Thanks for your read and your thoughts.
