one morning step out
after a strong swim into big swell
muscles fully stretched out
breathe deepened and slowed down
turn for a last look
touch the surface and give thanks
wait to be gently thrown up the fine pebble shelf
by the next crashing wave
look to the grey blanket sky
high first swallows
focus on a lone gannet drifting
shinning white against metal grey sea
then break into a different place. being immersed in cold water changes a body. sometime when its wild and dark a crack opens. the energy of the sea seeps in. soul silt stirs and spills. overflowing.
