Deeper I go
While many stay shallow
Their faces betray fears
"Hey - join me! The water is safe out here in the deep!
It's all in the mind,
All in the mind."

Shedding fears
Challenging tears,
Erasing years
Puzzling Peers.

I am skinny dipping alone
Feeling the loveliness of being one with the water
I once feared,
And now I couldn't be without.
If it weren't for my human being
I would stay in.
Nevertheless physical matter beckons me from the shore
Just five more minutes.

I live to go deep
Deeper into the dark, mysterious waters
For the simple pleasure
Of reminding myself that I no longer fear
And the joy of the experience.
Her gentle licks on my skin
His stars in sand
They caress and hold my weightless body
I remember this IS all that there IS NOW
I remember.

When I remember,
I realize I was never alone
I just couldn't see them before
Look at all those lovely beings
Just like me,
Wait is that me or them? Both.

I see
The universe is a diamond.
And we are all facets
Reflecting our own spectrum slightly differently
Reflecting to and off each other.
This is bliss
Could it be any more beautiful than this?
I cry as my heart bursts open
and love pours from my tears.
I am more grateful now than ever
That I remember.

I can't wait to swim again
So I can remember some more.

The unknown parts of being
The only true last frontier.
