Swimming
in an ethereal lake
engulfed within its silver silence
out of sight
out of mind —
dripping
in a hot summer night
in the rustle of wind outside
out of mind
out of sight —
dissolving
I think
tomorrow I’ll feel
but with a different taste
in mind
in sight
tomorrow—
for now
I am
swimming
out of sight
out of mind —
drifting
into
YOU

Love the sensations you create with this Kira!
I love how this flows with a fervency and hunger, an appetite of what’s coming next as her mind gently drifts on the waters of her heart with a sight breezy anticipation!
It’s beautiful Kira! Well done! 🌹❤👍
Wow! I should do something alike! That’s a great way of working with prompts, Kira.
As a reminder to all of us – use any of the old prompts if like to as there isn’t any restriction.
Masterly Kira!
Beautiful Miss Kira! Love the sensation.
Great imagery! I love the repetition too, and slight variation with “out of mind, out of sight, in mind, in sight”. Thanks for sharing!
A nice web presence.
I like the poem, it carries daydreams into fantasy’s realm.
Wonderful sensation of travelling light in these words, of drifting. Your poem can be interpreted on several levels. Nicely penned Kira.
Escapism is an art form in itself if done through positive thoughts.
Nice poem.
The beauty of this poem is how I felt that, although you were writing of personal experience, I could relate to that feeling of such halcyon moments which we know will give is greater clarity the next days. Beautiful writing!
Very creative and a wonderful poem…much enjoyed the experience!!
