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

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    What a freeing piece, Fränz. The humor and vulnerability draw us in, while the ocean carries away everything heavy and guarded. Even the wordplay embodies that release from living too cautiously. Beautifully done, my friend. A fave for sure. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
