I SWAM THE SEA OF PASSION..

Years ago, I swam the sea of passion
I forced myself to reach the destined shore
To conquer every mile, was my fashion
And with each stroke, I pushed on to explore..

Even when my eyes were red and burning
And every single muscle cried in pain
I swam on, to satisfy my yearning
For in the end the pride I would attain..

And as I reached the beach so tired and worn
A smile of self-achievement greeted me
But then I yearned again to be sea-born
With always one more goal of bravery..

I swam the sea of passion rain or shine
I kicked my feet and kept myself adrift
And never weakened to the salty brine
But now, the time has come upon me swift..

Today I watch the ripples of the sea
And still life's passion rages in my soul
But there are no regrets inside of me
I smile..while sitting on this sandy knoll..

Joyce, don't tell me you're saying you're too pooped to make that swim any more.

We can always float on our backs!!

Oh, the poem? Yes! I like it very much
