Wooden Rafts Floatwooden sea- rafts float
as the hardest beads
the mildest prayers
offer layered dahlias
for Holy Queen's regatta

When You Float In Outer SpaceWhen you float in outer space
with no one else around,
it gets a little lonely
and you start to miss the ground.
The familiar touch of Mother Earth
and friends to share the news,
is the kind of isolation
that can give someone the blues.
But you don't have to be in...

Let Me FloatLet me wade
deep into the water
with all my clothes still on.
Let my body
ripple in the space I occupy.
Let me swim
in the murky water
and dip my skin
in the unrefined.
They seem much too eager
to have me sit very still
for long
long...

Come Float With Me On Velvet SoundCome float with me on velvet sound
Come float with me on velvet sound
as music wafts the evening air
With melodies of hope now found
and timeless days we both shall share
The setting sun of beacons bright,
so full of life and amber glow
Does dance the heavens curtained light,
brought...

FLOAT - POTD
Rise above
Float free
Beyond the clouds
Devoid of negativity
Eyes closed gently
Drifting soft and slow
Absorbing the calm tranquility
Anxiety let go
Bathe in the warmth
Of the sweet smiling sun
Float ….breathe slowly
Bleakness be gone
Float….be only in the moment
Release your whole being of woe
Inhale peace and pure air
Eyes closed….float and just...

You Float In My TearI see you float drenched in my tear,
when my heart melts, flows like a stream.
You drift away to niche not near,
at the edge of my broken dream.
As specks of dream drown in despair,
I see you float drenched in my tear.
My silent sorrow I can’t share,
when...

Hello Beautiful Ice FloatHello beautiful ice float
You remind me of a double scoop
From the Dairy Queen
I wonder if there is a waffle cone
Under the water
Hello gorgeous ice float
I wonder if you are the one
Who took down the Titanic
And drowned people who did not have a chance
I wonder if...

Rock-Solid FloatWritten by Gail DeBole on January 5, 2013

With you on the Ground…
And I floating…
Every once in a while
A breeze lifts me
The clouds hide me
The sun warms me
And you tug on my
String and I join you
On the ground
Ever so briefly
Until there...

Float OnA big ‘floater’ lurked in the loo
He tried to remove this huge pooh
Poked it with a stick
It made him feel sick
So he fished it out with his shoe!

Root Beer Float AfternoonIt was one of those
Kind of afternoons
When ball games were heard
From open windows
And houses had porches
And porches had swings
Where voices murmured softly
Into velvet humidity
It was the most precious of things
In the most treasured of times
It was a root beer float…
Kind of afternoon...

'float'The core of you
Does not float like you think it does
It is anchored in what you believe
You sometimes don’t fathom all of you
Because you reject the reflection
What your mind is telling you
You refuse to acknowledge
That at times floating...

Watching the Enemy Float Away
Janey Jane ran around with Rocky Rock
Ohh was he handsome, the girls did they flock
Swiftly, Jane’s hair she did cut
Kay ran, laughing off her butt
Jane then smirked, as Kay fell from the dock

Float Above YouFloat above you
My cat
Though small
Is a
Mighty hunter.
Often trophies
She left
On my door
From her nightly stalking.
A robin that
Will never fly
Trilling couplets
In cloud stained skies.
A mouse that will
Never scurry
In the wood-grain walls.
Chanting lays
About the stacking of
Heroic cheese.
On a dark night
When i heard
