What The Water Gave Me. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

Drifting slowly.
Peacefully dreaming.
The soft water caresses
my skin,
As I take my daily swim.

Floating carelessly.
Touching each outstretched branch.
Basking in the suns rays.
What a glorious day.

Taking in all my surroundings.
Enjoying the freedom and the ease.
Swans and ducks float onby.
They too are enjoying the peace.

The water gave me tranquillity.
The water gave me time.
The water gave me serenity.
The water made me feel sublime.

Drifting slowly.
Peacefully dreaming.
The soft water caresses my skin,
As I take my daily swim.
