Breaching Story
a vision
Swim in the sea road
without horizon
nor compass knowing
you are ever
only swimming
*
Dive beyond the depths
care less the fathoms
pressing you insignificant
seeming bound
for you
*
only
*
breach through the weighty darkness
your currency of story
casting you finite
fated forever
only
*
And discover glory

A Digital Pandemic.
After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.

To be free, you are the essence of what all dream to be.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Your diction is surprising, just as poetry ought to be. I find myself more compelled by how you structured this one, and chose the words, than by other poems on the same theme. It takes a deep truth, self-imposed restriction as lifelong shackles, and turns it into an anthem of freedom. Like, actual freedom. Not just liberty. How absolutely marvelous. "Dive beyond the depths care less the fathoms pressing you insignificant seeming bound for you" My favorite part. "Pressing you insignificant" and "care less the fathoms" just sound so profound. The meter in them is beautiful.
Gorgeous! Enjoyed this beautiful journey into freedom by simply...swimming.
This felt so liberating! Loved your poem!
