I SWAM THE SEA OF PASSION..

Yesterday 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..
