Here is my poem for today:

A Day in May – Swimming

today the beach
the month of May and yet so warm
swimming
“oh no too cold.. oh oh” .. drama and play edging in to the wave
and at last the leap – into the sparkling joy of the salt salt sea
that tingles the soul and delights the being

and running home – the song escapes
a light step – a lighter soul
washed in the joy of the light light sea
gratitude overflowing me.
