Glide… (#2 “Sports”)
Dive down
Into the crystal clear water
Watch the ripples above
And push of the wall
Spin against the flow and look up
At the distorted sky
Through the water
The bubbles rise up slowly
Hair floating around me
A halo of soft brown
Against the light blue
Feel the push and pull of the currant
And i come up for air
Breath and
Glide
Leave the world
Singing the songs i love so much
As my body takes on a mind of its own
Muscles rippling as they come up
Towards the sky
And plunge back into the pool
Like a knife cutting into the water
Pulling me forewards
Towards the start
The place were i will end
Keeping me balanced
Keeping me steady
Helping me
Glide
SWIMMING! Really helps keep me balanced!
