And there I am, beyond the rocks
floating in my mind into the deep
the sky still a smooth blue porcelain
the ancient rocks looking down on me
protective, amused, irresolute, immobile.

I am doing graceful cartwheels
above the placid waters, celebrating
this rare gift of beauty, grateful
to be alive and soaking in this grandeur.

...and to think there are those who see a rock and think only of a hard surface.

Inspiring indeed! Lovely poetry Josefina.

I'm imagining those "graceful cartwheels," my friend. Beautiful, inspired poetry.

Thanks all for those appreciative words. I could do more mental cartwheels for the accolade.
