California Swimming

Shimmering, translucent light,
Weightless, both in body and mind,
Freed from care, freed from the air,
Just myself down there,
At the bottom of the swimming pool.

Blue and ethereally bright,
Cool liquid, a sensual delight,
A womb of peace,
A complete release,
At the bottom of the swimming pool.

The water and I are one,
My body has no form,
I dissolve,
I am born,
At the bottom of the swimming pool.
