beneath the surface
orange rocks swim like koi
undulating with the current and the wind
Rock Koi Swim
Rudder Not Propeller
oh!
the paddle power
of legs
Morning Glory
I fly in your sky
and swim in
your ocean of blue
Last One In
propelled
by Mom’s encouragement
first swim
Fishbone
fish skeleton
swimming
the ocean sky
Dive In
in the deep end
of color
oranges give way to light
Get Away
travel
the curving petal edge
swim the pool of color
At The Lake
the sight alone
of cool blue
refreshed
Waiting Red Canoe
her reflection swims
a memory
of last summer’s youth
Stirring
the water swam
as shadows danced
the past nourishing the present
Here
swim the sky
fly the water
heaven is on earth
Raft of Ducks
They venture forth
for a final swim
before the river freezes them out.
