Lost in Reverie
Seawater on Skin
With a whoosh, a towel floats down.
Possessions are dropped, awaiting my return.
Feet pad across warm, silken sand.
Toes curl around golden grains.
Sun comforts with its soft morning glow.
A sip of morning, salty sea air.
That first icy kiss tingles.
Breath departs momentarily.
With each wade, body harmonises with the water.
Head tips back, and I float.
Eyes rest closed for a spell.
Mind wanders, lost in reverie;
what if I just went under and stayed under... forever?
Feet drift down to the seabed.
Legs traipse back through the ocean’s pulse.
Breeze lightly nips at wet skin.
Towel wraps around my damp curves.
Bag slung back over my shoulder,
my stride carries me to the car.
