Moonlight Bath
Late at night
when all have gone to sleep
I walk out into the deep blue sea
I take off
my man-made wares
So my body will be cleansed naturally
There is no one
To see me in this state
The moon is my company
Breaking through
Waves as if born to do so
In the hopes of feeling free
The trouble is
My mind is stuck
In a state of totality
I rise from
The deep to breathe
Relinquishing the day completely
Let the waves
Take it to a place
As long as it is away from me
when all have gone to sleep
I walk out into the deep blue sea
I take off
my man-made wares
So my body will be cleansed naturally
There is no one
To see me in this state
The moon is my company
Breaking through
Waves as if born to do so
In the hopes of feeling free
The trouble is
My mind is stuck
In a state of totality
I rise from
The deep to breathe
Relinquishing the day completely
Let the waves
Take it to a place
As long as it is away from me

Evocative - Makes us want to join you in trying out an autumn midnight swim! Bravo. Favourite verses:
I take off
my man-made wares
so my body will be cleansed naturally. [I could sense that liberating feeling reading this]

The moon is my company

Unfortunately I live far from the sea, but you took me with you.
Bathing naked under the moonlight is amazing (I've done some skinny dipping in a lake)

The ocean this time of year is delightful. September is the ultimate month to go to the beach. The crowds and lifeguards are gone, the sand is pure and the waves crashing onto the beach are even more majestic. Lovely poem my friend. Let's meet at the beach!!
