Bliss

Fränz Müller

Wearing only

sunscreen and a smile

I stand at the water’s edge;

I feel my burdens and cares

drift away beneath the salty surface.

Warmed by the sun,

I venture forth into the cool ocean waves

and, first time in a long time

I tread water instead of carefully.

A poem of disinhibition and freedom very nicely written
