Liquid Sunshine

      Today I am going to go swim, it's one of the ways I work out.. For me to say I am going to swim is still a novel idea to me! Up till two years ago, I did not know how to swim not even tread water. Was actually a bit terrified of being in water lol yea actually a LOT!! A few almost drowning experiences in my life, and I was good with NEVER learning to swim. Then wouldn't you know it, I enrolled my kids in swim class and for them to not be terrified I had to lead by example...
     So I enrolled into swim classes too, my first day was terrifying!! But now I can't wait to feel the sweet caress of the pool water! Even though I now love to swim, I still will not swim in a river, lake or ocean there are creepy things down there that I can't see!! I am good you all can have that!!
    Reason why I talk about swimming is well cus I am going to do it and LOVE it now!! I think everyone should try to conquer their fears, but also my poem today is about water. I hope you all enjoy it and have a wonderful day!

Liquid Sunshine
By Ginger


What is this!?
Cooling and refreshing
Harsh and smooth
Gently tapping on my
Face, seeking and soaking
My Hair and everything
Dampening, Drenching me!

Running to hide from this
And yet I wish to run
Open arms and face up
Drinking this wonder in!!

Running and finding
Small pooling lakes
Feet first, diving IN
Clean and dirty!

Oh the joys of it
Jumping from baby Lakes
Letting you seize my legs
And feet
To glide and slide
Back to where you
Will settle for the day.

Laying down in a baby lake
Just for me!
Letting this wonder from
Above
Trace and trail
It’s way down and over
My nose and lips
Catching in my lashes.

Reluctantly I will find
Shelter from your
Cold and wet
Magnificence

With a warm cuppa
In hand
I will watch you
Swallow and form
The land around me

DON’T fret
We will play
Again soon!!
