22/06/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation
I dipped a toe,
Somewhat tentatively,
Into the clear blue
Bracing against the cold
That would travel
In waves
Up my body,
Tingling my spine –
Exhilarating yet
Harsh and abrupt –
To the point
Where I hesitate
Before diving in;
The icy stillness
Disturbed violently
By my submerging body,
Air pushed out
From lungs stung
By frozen embrace.
