Lake swimming
By Stephanie Sideways
Streamlined hands spear the lake, cascading a rhythm repeated
Smooth undulation descends with each stroke I take
A perpetual movement where my weight is defeated
Streamlined hands spear the lake
Effortless, graceful, no splash do I make
White noise sees my stresses retreated
Leaving my worries back there in my wake
A mile,maybe two, body and mind ,meditation completed
Wonderfully tired, beginning to flake
The waters do witness my tension deleted
Streamlined hands spear the lake.

Got used to swimming with flippers, mask, and snorkel - over the reefs. So lake swimming is still refreshing (if not too cold) but somewhat laborious. Sink or swim, and don't let those worries drag you down. Thanks Stephy!
