I am swimming down stream again <br />I'll be riding the rapids soon; <br /> <br />headed for Niagra my water-fall. <br /> <br />The rush of sound; <br />suspended air <br />and I'll have seconds <br />to comprehend <br />before crashing land; <br />new love coming <br />to this unworthy one. <br /> <br />I am in my Leap of Faith- <br />my Free-Fall; <br />will it end <br />badly <br />or will I soar? <br /> <br />Seconds to know <br />before <br />events <br />say <br />which <br />way <br />this <br />will <br />transpire.. <br /> <br />I think your smile <br />tells me <br />that my water-landing <br />will be a soft one, <br /> <br />the sediments <br />will wash down <br />with me <br />to <br />join the Ocean of Souls, <br />swimming with the Tides <br />caressing <br />the sandy beach once more. <br /> <br />Gentle touch <br />the rushing waves <br />cleanse <br />bad memory. <br /> <br />Gentle smell <br />the Ocean surf <br />for it <br />cleanses your Soul. <br /> <br />Gentle touch <br />your secret love <br />for it is Ocean deep <br />especially in the fall.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/swmming-down-stream/
