My gliding swift and calm
No noise in splashes
Just a music to my ears.
My soul is loose
Through the waters
I’m dancing
I imagine the others
Fighting a slow death
As they try to overtake
the expert, and that’s me.
I don’t want this moment to end
I hear no sound
Not the cheering of my family
Screaming in the crowd
This moment I go to another world
A void where only I can reach
This isn’t a competition for me
It’ll never be a career
It is my life
water, swimming
I am the goddess of water, the sea.
The whistle blows
Screeching through my dream
As I reach the finish line
And the crowd goes wild
I climb out of the water
And the rest is a flash
As I am given a golden medal
Useless to me
It hangs on my neck
Glinting over my red vibrant wet hair
But it isn’t that that gives me pride
Its something else
The feel of wetness on to my skin
The water etching into my eyes
I just want to jump back in
To the heaven of cold water
The fresh smell of it
Not like in a pool
But this
In a natural pond
The coldness was like a slap in the face
Freshening my drowsy state.
Hope you liked it!! What do you think?
