lake swimming

swimming carefree
surfing off the dock

young
where do I belong
full of love and woe

where i should go

how will i know
the peace and quiet
the fish feel
underwater

or the riveting rush
of a soaring bird
sailing through
an indigo sky?

how long will i hold
my breath
while I wait for you
to come around?

i'm underwater
tickling your feet and
the fish are nibbling
my belly
i run for cover
under your water shadow,
but the sky suddenly
moves
exposing me
to the sun's light
and the fish rush faster
towards me

so I head for a mountain
and watch the birds fly

we'll go swimming again
another day.
