It was the second time today that I fancied a swim
With two days of sunshine the water had warmed
Through still waters I swam when a thought formed
As one hand and the other front to back skim
Practised front crawl stroke rhythmically performed
Tiny bubbles from my nose and mouth swarmed
Balance and movement with efficiency trimmed
Swimming pool restrictions newly left far behind
Vacation free time for relaxation will tension move
Calming pressured nerves and mental issues smooth
Work put aside for a few stolen days clears the mind
Weary muscles ease whilst leisure makes its groove
Silent hopes that the easy therapy will health improve
Holidays don’t last forever a fact to which I am resigned
A whole lake to swim wherever greedy eyes are longing
To close the eyes and swim blind is strangely appealing
It matters not where the secret line is you are stealing
No rules or restrictions just happiness prolonging
Caressing silken water sensory pleasure all but squealing
No roof above nor solid enclosing permanent ceiling
Duty left completely now in this delightful belonging
A minds deep question is could life have so free a direction
Monotony is not obligatory in the life you have wrought
Lead rather than follow and cast out a life so fraught
Living your dream to give yourself with true affection
No battle is won without heart felt ideals firmly taught
The chosen path is easier to tread as new spirit is brought
Never hold from adventure through fear of rejection
Turn away from hateful words to hear the bird song
Be your own back up team for your future candidacy
Never held back by a stick-in-the-mud inadequacy
Listen to advise but know when this is wrong
Wonders will never cease you will think emphatically
Without chains that bind movement eases dramatically
Live a life to the full where you feel that you belong
