Cold and solitary but
Bright and peaceful

Heavy and breathless
But weightless and silent



Exhausting and listless
Calming and effortless

Requires breath
That I don’t need.


The author's comments:
I find the experience of being submerged in a body of water to be high calming. If not for the lack of the ability to breathe, I would spend hours basking in the cold and peaceful silence.
This was written after going to the pool on a hot summer day, having discovered that I could, at the bottom of a 12 foot pool, walk at least five steps. This is in response for my subconscious longing to be like the frog, and live with both the worlds of water and earth.
