I step into <br />the old photograph <br /> <br />& again <br />the water closes over me <br /> <br />& I sink to the bottom <br />of a time long ago <br /> <br />swimming amongst <br />love & laughter. <br /> <br />Somewhere a sky exists <br />above all this <br /> <br />but now <br />all is water. <br /> <br />I follow you following a fish following a fish <br /> <br />as we reach towards the surface <br />out of breath...kiss <br /> <br />enter the dimension <br />of the sun again <br /> <br />an horizon <br />drawing a line between <br /> <br />sky & sea. <br /> <br />I stepping out(of the photograph) now <br /> <br />closing it...after me <br />hearing it...click close <br /> <br />behind me <br /> <br />the silence <br />of a sea.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-silence-of-a-sea/
