A Wet Dream

And freedom releases its tentacles
Such a dramatic opening
And we swim forth
Through bubbles and froth

Toward daylight
And clear ocean
Waves pounding above
Like distant stories

Rocks & corals below
Other predators to watch out for
Currents high & low
The sea-floor a sandy desert

And she sees me at last
And I see her
May I never say finally?
Our powers drawing us together

Oh I could not leave it at that
Dear reader
Dear lovely thinker
Our embrace underwater

Almost hidden, almost secret
Colours & shapes around us
Further on in the depths
But not too deep to recognize

Our smiles …
Happiness dancing
