The Night Swimmer
Familiar with the waters
the night swimmer moves
with powerful, confidant strokes
to the deep.
Treading
over tropical depths,
arching, then slicing
through still clear waters.
Cascading bubbles move
upward,
a pilgrim on a coral reef,
immersed,
rhythmic swaying
ebb and flow.
Moonlight reflecting
on gentle ocean swells.
Life abundant, pure,
flourishing in a
communion of nautical tranquility.
With decisive precision
moving always to the distant light,
home with clarity,
direction, and reason.
The night swimmer is
shielded against the Predator.
Reaching shore,
hushed breezes, waves caress his skin
on white warm sand.
Home and safe once more.
