Flicking the dial that announces the waterfall that treats the mind and body to its splendour, helping to push forth to connect with approaching watery resistance.
...............................................................................
Music commanding we keep up to speed....flinging our arms and legs, thrashing around, beating the force of the blue lagoon, pacing it out, stepping it up, kicking left and right, boxing it into submission. Tracing the patterns through the weaving water, pushing the boat out with power, shoulders deep beneath the water line, peeling the sleep from tired limbs, racing.....the tour de force...up and down, back and forth, kick and punch, step and jump, hop and skip, cycling and surfing the waves.
The sound machine our
Music conductor
Not up for participation
First one then the other
Defunct....on a no go
A go slow to find us
Treading water without so much
As a chorus, a warble
Or a whistle, to aid our enthusiasm
To keep up with the waterside
Chant that emanated from her mouth
Kept us inspired...what a superstar
Left.....come on step it out
Take it to the far right
Heels back, knees up
Twist it up, twirl it out
Come on.....kick it
Bite down and spit it
Dig in deep and shift it
Burn the business
Feel the fitness
..................................................................
Yet more water shaking its contents and chucking its swift deluge at me....three times before 11.00am....no wonder skin is wrinkly from the water hole. Escaping the chlorine chapter, zapped with see through needles, proceeding toward towel alley....I dry off the debris of the day and begin to align myself in the mirror that reflects. Giving a wide birth in honour of the makeup pallet, brushing here, creaming there, lashes plumped and elongated, lips colour puckered.
Entering the enclosure of leather trim, grasping the destination wheel; the engine is invited into play and connects with the programme fast forwarding to brunch, welcomed from the morning's exuberant effort. Sipping back the hot and steaming mug of english breakfast combined with the pre requisite that is 'morning fruit toast' I'm quickly replenished enough to tap away and whisk the words ever forward to you all.
..................................................................
Whilst roaming, trolley in tow, I'm eyed by the same pair of eyes........staring...... several times in fact and wonder what that's all about. When confidence was not so much my companion, I may have questioned myself, yet I found I could dismiss it without a lingering leftover of uncertainty. It could, after all, be a positive eyeballing experience!!!!
Do we pause and stall
At the intersection
Remaining in situ
Whirring dialogue on repeat rewind
Replaying over and over
On and on in stalemate mode
Might we undo the sitting position
Raise the backrest
Lower the head support
Tweak the seat to position
Us to see the up and coming view
Whereby we can choose
Left or right, Near or far
Back or forth, Up or down
Embroidering the tapestry
That is freedom of choice
Insight into the book of life
The prayer of change embraced
Fears mask removed
Catching a glimpse into
Who you might become
Enough.......you might say, and so I'll give it up for another day......yet not for too long.
