Of the Seas

Wow, what a metaphor is. Great.

Thank you KS...

I really appreciate that...

Your writing has a way of taking me places Cipher. This reminded me of a time I was swimming in the North Sea at night. There was mostly no one else crazy enough to be out there. It was FREEZING. Everything looked black, the type of Darkness that swallows you whole and you are never seen again. And I thought perhaps if it wasn't so damn cold this salt would be really corrosive. And it kind of felt like maybe there was the shadow of shark menacingly swaying form side to side. Maybe that shark was you, who knows... Ever been to the North Sea? For me it seemed eerie but there was a peaceful serenity and I suppose if I were eaten I probably would not have felt it because I sure did not feel the wind at all when I got out. I love the depths of this piece.

Thank you Kristina...

The shadow of a shark, menacingly swaying,
might just have been me...  :p

Have I been to the North Sea.?.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  :p

Muhaha...

You certainly seem very courageous and
adventurous...

This makes me think of someone I know...

It was one of our first dates and we went
on a post midnight swim in the lake...

She was totally fearless, going like...

Way out into the dark horizon
and dark currents...

Like a beautiful apparition...  Like me.


I think maybe I do not often reveal myself
but I did to her...

Maybe because she could see me...

Long story...

But I will always remember that...
