dolphins have a sense of play that resonates with me A spirit of joy and excitement A childlike innocence They take care of each other Appear to share private jokes I picture myself swimming with them But then I remember I would be terrified I am scared to death of the ocean I have seen the movie Jaws, haven’t I?...

She's two fish swimming in opposite directions and physically incapable of answering my questions always on the stick's wrong end yet not to harp or carp but I'm forever on the opposite that which is pointed sharp would I enquire of the right one it's the left natator who replies with something unrelated from out of yonder wild blue skies and not knowing which will respond altho' I...

2025.3.27 For me, it will be the last swimming day in the beach. I came here to enjoy the nature for one hour. Time flies so fast, it breaks my heart. It was not long ago, Two brand new swim suits added to my wardrobe. I maximised them and used them weekly. Now, chances to swim in the sea, Will be very...

I swim in the weight of what once was, where your laughter rippled like sunlight on waves. Now the tide pulls heavy, a silent hush, as grief drags deep into shadowed caves. Your touch—once the shore I reached with ease— is now a ghost in the ebb and flow. The water whispers in mournful pleas, carrying echoes, I dare not let go. Each...

The grief I carry is so heavy None can sense the weight I feel in my chest. It is crushing me, I feel it in every breath I take, And in each step, I totteringly make. From my heart, all sweet songs are stolen In my ears, fall a dull, hollow resonance Where ever I look, I see only an...

Like swimming upstream is swimming with grief. You try so hard to keep from going under. You feel yourself drowning, and while you flounder, you wonder if ever you might find any relief - relief for the pain that won’t go away. You feel a great weight is pulling you down - down to the depths of your greatest woe - deeper and deeper and deeper. How can...

When the sodden vision lurks in the dark depth to see the trace of soul’s insignia at the bottom of tranquil sea, I fail to discern where the solemn stream I cry flows to lie beyond the edge of the marooned mind until it’s dry. The mangled mind swirls in the whirlpool of sorrow, like the curling cloud clump the...

So many people I’ve known have died so I ask the good lord why You take them young you take them old and then up to heaven they would go But can my tears ever go dry as I swim in grief and forever cry I wonder if I will be remember when for my time shall come just like some of...

I've been sitting on the sand for hours with the moon and stars as my only friends. But when dawn raises her sleepy head, they will all abandon me on the shore and with morose thoughts, I will be alone once more. I hear echoes of crashing of waves seeming to call my name saying, 'Come on in.' Tonight, the sky is...

It is as if cloudy eyes forecast rain And the darkest heartache Bleeds grief like varicose veins All blue and distorted with pain Hope is aborted and sadness Is a black freight train of thoughts Drowning my wake my sleep my faith I try to smile through it but fail A grimace of green slides in a wail Finding no comfort in...

Feet up where fat toes recline defying gravity, it's not 'happy hour' nor sad time, it's just time. The world has been over-thinking again, forgetting its fictional place in the self-replicating mind-maze. There is no escape, I'm just relaxing between the tracks. This laced numbness will quickly pass, yet ice cubes do break through all the dream chasing for a while. I'm not checked out, not checked in, just drinking. ...
