THE DIVE, by CORNELIA BROWNELL GOULD
First Line: One moment, poised above the flashing blue
Last Line: To swim back to the gray old pile from which I dive.
Subject(s): Water
First Line: One moment, poised above the flashing blue
Last Line: To swim back to the gray old pile from which I dive.
Subject(s): Water
ONE moment, poised above the flashing blue,
The next I'm slipping, sliding through
The water, that caresses, yields, resists,
Wrapping my sight in cooling, gray-green mists.
Another moment, my body swirls, I rise,
Shaking the water from my blinded eyes,
And strike out strong, glad that I am alive,
To swim back to the gray old pile from which I dive.
