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

Katie, this is immersive and unsettling in the best way. It moves from ease to danger so fluidly that the shift almost sneaks up on you. That tension lingers long after the read. Well done, my friend. Powerful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A lovely write Katie. I too am a fan of the beach, it’s one of my favorite spots to be. Your imagery is very good, I almost thought I was there!
Thank you, most appreciated!
Grew up at the coast where every no-school day was spent. Now we live inland. So this has special meaning for me.🕊️🙏🏻
