dream walkings

2005 Caribbean Sea

Swimming in the ocean after sunset, what a gift. The water is an amazing aqua color, a beautiful contrast to the horizon turned lavender and blue. The water is so warm and the waves so gentle I could float here on my back for an eternity. Perhaps I could be washed away and ashore to a far away land, like any other flotsam.

Thunderheads hover ominously above, starkly black and white, making the water look like liquid sky ~ opalescent, soft, warm, like the generous womb that it is.

A sliver of a moon hung low in the sky just above pink splashes, the last bit of sunset. It was silent half in half out of the water, my ears in another world from my eyes. Like there was nothing else in the universe except me, the warm water, and that dreamy sky.
