Thinking (for Cindy J-H)


I find myself swimming 
frequently in a pool
very few know about
it’s there where I
undress unashamedly for no
one else will find
me there it’s cool
and it is calm
and it is deep
so deep in fact
that no matter how
far I dive I
never touch the bottom
it is I guess
my minds very own
treehouse a place for
it to go and
pretend and sometimes dream
a place of comfort
and of joy and
of peace and of
serenity a place where
I always find myself
having lost the same
when I’m not swimming
