Bliss

                                                            Bliss

 

My chest is buoyant in the salted water

The sun beams in disarray greeting my golden figure

Eyes settle on minnows that giggle in a frenzy as

Clouds move in and bury a delinquent sun

Submerged in tepid waters

I choke and putrid waters invade my mouth

As if the ocean is swimming in me

Tangled in seaweed I traverse waves to the shore

My chair is respite

With eyelids that falter, I find reprieve

Waking to sun that hides behind

A land of cotton candy bliss
