Splash and surge,
the water blankets the sun.
As I stare into the calm grey mirror,
The water seems to stare back at me
Curiously lapping, learning of me,
Almost as intently as I study it’s depths.

The life moves underneath me, and around me.
I never felt more mobile just watching.
I wish to stay on this bow.
A mermaid, poised and anywhere bound.
My clay statue legs returning to life in the water.
The burden of my landlocked longings
Lost, lost now in the flowing pulse of freedom.
My Pisces soul the solvent in the solution.
And my mind works again.

I revel in my part in all of this.
The different strokes seeping into one peaceful painting.
Pastels on lights.
Lights imitating darks,
And blending together into one.
My lungs breath in this watercolor.
My eyes dance round the rush.
My lips spattered with cool purity.

A smile unforced,  forming on my lips is only an after thought
To the rapture of this feeling.

Rocking tides cradle,
Sleep with me baby underneath this dream we call a sky.
