Wild Swimmer
Wild Swimmer
Untamed by life nor lore he stands upon a small shore,
Of that which was and and is no more.
Wild meets wild ,upon water cast.
Crisp cold currents swathe from Ancient of Days.
Upon brittle leaves the wind gives voice and softly passes,
Heavens gaze upon inward Man.
A hidden truth revealed by nature,
Parts the water and shares his soul.
Stretches forth Truth beyond words and dreams,
Dark deep currents pull,
Drawing into His eternal tide.
Solar body from Light of Lights, Born of water his soul delights.
Kingfisher flash and Mallard stroll,
Swans celestial blest united forever tend the nest.
That which was new, but always known,
Consoles the Man of Nature, naked, alone.
