Dreaming in a drop of water

In a drop of water, dreaming of drowning,
I will dream of swimming, and swim upstream.
Awake in a bubble of air, barely breathing,
I will deeply inhale, to pass through the atmosphere.


Inspired by Shadow, a poet at One Door Away from Heaven  HERE

  6. In a drop of water, dreaming of drowning,
    I will dream of swimming, and swim upstream.
    Awake in a bubble of air, barely breathing,

  8. Thank you Moondustwriter, you caught the tiny figure in the photo! Yes, that was a natural water slide on a California creek, taken 3 years ago. That area burned this year, a stones throw from a town and my sister's house!

  11. You are good, girl. You are blazing through the atmosphere these days. Did you catch our lightning show tonight? Of course you did. The images in this poem are wonderful. When you read it aloud, read it strong. We need to hear every beautiful word.
