Moving from shoal
to shoal, he disappears
close to the creek
reappears around the sharp rocks
the swimmer
proceeds in Silence
diligent, focused
the swimmer pursues a goal,
looking peeking, assessing,
moving on wordlessly
leaving no trace, no sign
as the sea slowly heaves
in and away,
Breath of a patient Mother
Soundless
the Swimmer
advances along the edgy
coast, showing no effort
as if gliding through oil
unaware, he perseveres
bobbing, peering, bobbing
*
Absorbing the tenacity
I see a Force
stronger
than the Man Himself
Dictating his will to live
Stay Alive
come what may
Barbed Wire
desperate hunger
there for him
always

Babette! Comme tu t’exprimes bien en anglais! Cela me fait très plaisir de te lire ici! Merci de ton commentaire,bises!
I love the way you look or better: feel Life .Mix Nature with Human, History with Daily Bread , Description with” Introscription “, thus delivering the Finale that makes me smile or shed a tear but always makes me feel nearer to you . Yaron, that look on your swimmer ! Wonderful !
And I love how you perceive life, le recul de ton regard que tu exprimes avec tant de precision, de clarté, et de Beauté! merci
Suzanne!
Beautiful use of metaphor, your words are soothing yet unsettling, powerful yet tranquil. Love you xoxo
