Seven swarthy swimmers
Sailboard so silently
Surfing stormy seas

Life is a enormous liquid stream, a thriller
in it we are simple castaway, swimmers
we are dragged by it as in a river...

once a skindiver named neal

daily would make swimmers squeal

in town from new york

he carried a fork

dining on fresh ocean krill.

A duck, a beaver
both swimmers, both fast.

A cardinal, a blue jay
with the feathers that last.

a bulldog, a bear
they both have hair.

A pony, a horse
and maybe a mare?...

My swimmers on, to the beach I ran,
Across the hot, white, squirming sand,
The first wave faced knocked me rotten,
My dad had told me but I'd forgotten,
Jump the waves son if you can....

FEELING    GOOD


Life is rich and filled with  delight

Circling round us in eddies and swirls

Our  days  are  glorious glowing bright

We  are swimmers  in a  sea of shining pearls...

 Stealthy, deadly hunter
 Swiftly moves beneath waves
 Searching for its next meal
 Swimmers become its prey
 Surfers are attacked too
 Sharp teeth cut like razor
 So beware of those Jaws!!...

The FINA ruling makes such sense,
I first assumed it was the Bee:
Transition by the age of twelve,
Or swim the “open” policy.

Trans swimmers will no more compete
In women’s races deemed elite....

Taking my dogs on a raft trip to North Missouri,
Solomon, Jasper, Jetsam and baby Madame Curie,
None of us are swimmers, but there is no real worry.
We float along in peace, none of us in any kind of hurry....

what of little men
rescued from the deepest dark
...are they grown up now?
did they learn to swim past fears?

Dreams need heads to occupy
As floats buoy up the non swimmers
It's all a sea, we're all in it
And we wake up on the sand
Missing a bit of the journey
Right there, in salvation - we dream on
Until the next time
We open our eyes...

Squatting lakeside
darting swimmers 
at their feet. 

Shouldered burdens
over shadow even 
family time.

Prayers for Peace
carried in whispers
breath after breath.

Gods coloring book
pages of hope,
peace, beauty.

Just inhale
the wonder!...

We are glass prisoners in a glass cage
It might break if we dared to touch it.
We don’t dare touch it 
Lest it break.

We are swimmers in an endless sea
We might find ourselves in shallow water 
If we stopped swimming.
We don’t dare stop,
Lest we drown....

seaweed stuck on sand 
seagulls seeking small shellfish
shirtless swimmers splash 

crawling crabs, claws clasped 
clams closed, coral chips and conch 
children's castle crafts

FISHING FOR LOVE WITH LOVE

In the pale yellow evening
of spring, from my heart,
I cast a line into a flowing stream.
In the depths of its wetness,
teased my bated hook;
but evasive were the little swimmers
in this gentle brook.
With undying love,
the pale of my heart was fully packed;
grateful not having to throw anything back....

The hand that reaches down to hell
Gets scorched and the hand that 
Reaches up to heaven gets touched.
Hell and high water hand in hand.
Level lake disturbed by the swimmers
Stroke; arm follows arm slicing the still
Water. He daydreams as he glides 
Like an eel, glistening in the sunset.
Hell is quenched by the water he has
Touched....

blazing ocean's might,
roaring waves crack and collide~
whispers ditch behind

moon's gentle embrace,
guiding waves of my essence~
Serenades my soul

Unyielding current,
swimmers, beware of my might~
admire from afar...

... the swimmer
swam up the tube
within a frantic assemblage
of other swimmers
pushing
shoving
striving
writhing
towards an egg queen serene
in a womb room needing
swimmers for seeding
begetting gametes to collide
and form a more perfect union as
a zygote only a mother could love.
Fish-eyed unfeathered fetus
eons 
     beyond
           the beginning....

Warm sun tans 
Beach tourists
Seeking fun
In azure
Ocean waves 
Surfers ride
Wood tables
Flouting tides
Children play
With the sand
Paddleboards
Young swimmers 
In the shore
Swim for hours
Sunset hides
Golden disc
Ending day
Bringing night
Enjoyment
In hotels
