This is so new to me-
The laughing is the most wonderful sound,
Refreshing as the sea breeze at dusk.
The minutes fly by as if there are never enough
Yet no time is wasted, each second a treasure trove.
Every sigh and murmur is the ebb and flow of the tide,
And when tidal waves burst forth I’m swept away
Into whirlpools that dizzy my brain in wonderful ways,
My tongue is tied and my heart is pounding.
I could drown at any minute and it’s terrifying,
Yet I don’t resist, I let the current carry me through,
To new places, full of life I’d never seen before.
Even when I simply float along, no agenda to mind,
It is fulfilling, never a day poorly spent.
The waves that envelop me need only their presence
To bring the paradoxical peaceful excitement.
No matter where I’m taken, it’s new, it’s beautiful.
I always thought I knew quite a lot, and in some ways I do,
But as it turns out, I knew nothing about the depths,
About the endless expanse of intense blue wakes.
I don’t think I’ll ever fully know, ever cease to find newness
With all there is to find and see, I’ll never stop learning,
Forever an explorer marvelling at each treasure uncovered,
That’s love, is it not?
