Poem of the Day: Emily Dickinson

My Garden -- like the Beach by Emily Dickinson

My Garden -- like the Beach --
Denotes there be -- a Sea --
That's Summer --
Such as These -- the Pearls
She fetches -- such as Me

The Magic of Floating

I feel a sense of magic

when I float on

top of the water.

Whether it is in

a lake, a river, a pool

or an ocean, there is

magic in that moment.

My body is limp and relaxed.

My arms and legs hang in

any direction that I move them.

I take a deep breath in

and hold it.

I float higher

and the sun is

there to warm me.

I exhale and sink

but my spirit remains high.

My long brown hair floats

around my head

like a feathery crown.

I am alone with my thoughts

but not alone.

I look to the sky

and there I float.

And think.

And relax.

And soak in the magic.

Haiku for you - Leader

Measure your today
Be a leader, follow not

Was just like today, and what
If today was it?
