Sway Series: Poem 1

The morning bubbles danced to the surface

Clear and glimmering at the sun’s smiles

Upon the ripples she floated

Side to side, colors became deeper among the fresh foam

Empty and careless, she was light

The wind carried her with ease

Her cold and crisp shell burst into the warmth of the sails

She was weightless, she was beautifully whole

An endless afternoon where time stood still

The grains of sand mingled at the edge

Over and over, a loud crash reminded the shore

Once more the moon would shine and the sun would sit with love

Blue and bright, she stretched far into the brush

She was seen, she was strong

Swaying along with the stars in the sea

She wasn’t afraid to shine, wishing the sun would never set

Overflowing and overflowing, her heart glowed with bliss

Swirling and singing, the world blushed upon her figure

She was free and the sky gave her glow
