Poetry Sample: "Home"

I fall into the water gracefully

The tiniest drop of a splash rises above my head

The water slides over my skin

Welcoming me back

My old friend

I break the surface

Breathe

Return to my world

My toes graze the wall

Plant

Push

And I’m gone

Gliding forward

Gracefully

Satin currents flow past

Caressing my limbs as I go by

I take the water by the hand

Stroke after stroke

Breathing here and there

When I curl to turn

The water embraces my whole body

I leave the water

But it does not leave me

It lingers
