The flow of blood
through your bod
Calming the oceans of
Your cochlea
Being a Buddha
Without even renouncing it all
Is this what it is to be god?
Just change your course
To coast along the crashing waves
For the first time
I see land
And don’t want to drown
But Is floating akin to swimming?
Atleast better than being waterboarded
By choice
And pushing a metaphor too far.
Ride that poetry wave!
ReplyDelete"Calming the oceans of your cochlea" .... OMG what an amazing phrase! .... and "waterboarded by choice"? I bow to your wordmastery!

that first stanza is just plain awesome, very well written, enjoyed so much.
Too far? I think not quite – not when it is both so apt in each of its variations (like waves changing form) and with a nice touch of humour just under the surface.
ReplyDeleteI believe floating is akin to swimming ... and much more peaceful. A beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem and photo!
