Description
SwimmingI kick my legs, and gasp for every breath.
never before could I rest, ashored.
forever paralyzed by the ocean's breadth,
I know that in the past I have gone overboard.
A flickering light, a dream, reflected in the glass.
I pour. I drink.
My mind will take me there.
I will not sink, I keep my head above.
The light, it calls to me.
Whatever I think, when push comes to shove
I'll gladly wait and see.
A warm light, a beacon, through the ocean of grass.
I breathe. I float.
The current will take me there.

I hope you'll keep your head above for a bit longer too.
I love the way that the water is both carrying you a also trying to pull you down.

Sometimes it's best to stop fighting and just let the current take you.
It's scary, but every so often, things go your way when you do.

Hey pip, glad to see you around these parts still. Might be back, at least for the time being.
Been a long while since I wrote anything, meaning to change that if I can.
How've you been?

Working hard, hardly working. Keeping busy at the very least.
Glad retirement is treating you well, Pip.
