A Poem a Day (16): In the blue

I hope everyone had a good Easter. Mine was pretty busy and lovely! Also ate too much chocolate! :)

Here's a five-minute poem for A Poem a Day...

In the blue

We rise with the tide

Sink with the ebb

Flowing within

A splash of blue

It takes me down

Into the unknown

Spinning in circles

Caressed by waves

Treading water

We chase bubbles

Of incandescence

Reflecting white

Rays from above

Into the unknown

Spinning in circles

Caressed by waves

The sun breaks

This surface film

Finding us here

Where we swim

Diving deep down

Sinking

Sinking

In a stream of bubbles

Light, white, bright

The air flies above

Restless

I dive

Down

Down

Deeper in the dark

No light beckons

No thoughts cry out

I dive

Deeper

I feel the lightness

The weightlessness

 Of falling

No safety chute

 Just me

Light as a feather

In the warm glow

Of the summer

sun

I fall

Sliding into the void

Where we like to play

As the bubbles

Dance

Around my head

Waking

A dream

Of swimming like a fish

With scales

Of orange

Slipping and sliding

Out of reach

I breathe now

The bubbles drift away

I watch them

Float free

Breathing

Breathing
