Laps of bliss

Large expanse of ocean blue

accentuated by the melting morning hues

tranquil, serene, inviting

like unexplored islands of the Atlantic.

The allure is hard to resist.

I take the plunge

to soak in the sunlit charm,

the ripples travel far

each like circles of gold dust.

Gliding through the waters,

I elbow my way ahead

feeling lap after lap of bliss,

each stroke leaving me

fresh like the morning mist
