e.e. wilholt - Perilous Pendulum

Weary:
A perilous pendulum
swings
to and fro
with every swing
dully drumming
tedious lifetreads
Like a ponderous heartbeat

Awakening:
A wondrous ocean
Opens to me
Shining green-foam waters
Roar, beckoning me

I love to swim, I love the feel of
Cool water embracing me
