Summertime is here <br />And it is time for me to swim <br />Bodies of all shapes and sizes <br />Will be evident in the sea <br /> <br />Swimming in the sea <br />Provides closure of the winter for me <br />After being secluded for a few months <br />It is time to embrace the sea <br /> <br /> I hope the sea will not be full <br />As I would really like to swim <br />The tingle of water through my feet <br />Provides peace for me <br /> <br />My body becomes accustomed to the sea <br />As the heat linger on over the beach <br />I am engulfed by the waves <br />“ Ooops…” I am far back in the sea <br /> <br />I see various shapes floating in the sea <br />They take up all the space <br />I can hardly breathe <br />It is hard for me to swim <br /> <br />There are bodies all around me <br />“Fok! Hoe kan ‘n mens so swem” <br />Swimming in the sea provides solitude for me <br />Swimming in the sea sets me free!<br /><br />Lee John Siebritz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/swimming-in-the-sea/
