October Swim

 

Just one more swim

Before the water gets too cold

It’s invigorating!

As long as I keep moving.

When I rest,

My fingertips feel numb.

.

Back on the beach

Water offers more

 than just a swimming pool.

I study  her art

on the canvas of sand.

 I ask the golden sun

To erase my goosebumps

And grab my sweatshirt.

Summer sleeps now.
