Water Universe Poem by Cecilia Skopec

My body slices through the surface
of this entirely different world.
A world that defies gravity and holds air.
My arms sweep with smooth momentum,
taking me dowth this path.
My feet begin to flutter,
leaving a small trail behind me.
It's been too long.
Too long since the bubbles have stroked my face.
Too long since I have had this feeling of speed.
It's been way too long.
Suddenly I stop and rotate with a simple twist.
Changing my direction, so I can experience
this little adventure again.
I start to notice other figures all around me.
I continue on carelessly for I know they don't
pose a threat, at least not today.
We all move together with a silent harmony.
Repeating my actions many more times,
I finally look up and take air,
from the other side of this wall.
I then look back down and enjoy the gentle touch.
After flowing on this one great road,
I crawl back home into the air.
Gravity greedily reaches
and pulls me to my seat.
Tired from this long journey
but feeling victorious.
