a corridor of silver in the sea
and a sky as blue as the Sahara.
We ran into the inviting ocean
on that sun-blessed summer's day
laughing and without a care
and afterwards grimacing as breakers
rolled against us in the cold water.
We swam and I felt immortal,
no pain just the beauty of existence.
You stayed in longer than me
and I watched you emerge from the sea
brushing your hair back with a golden smile,
we were in Nirvana...for a while.
