The Unknown Swimmer
A yearning, profound, unspoken
To return to our place of origin
Back to the womb-wet, womb-dark
Womb-silence
Or some deep ancestral longing
For homecoming
To be subsumed
In the arms of the life-mother
In the rise and fall of tides
In the half-life of a breath
In the green secret places in the water
In the cadence of a phrase
So deeply held
So sacred
So perfect
(written by the unknown swimmer)
