A midnight swim

Gliding through the water
The moon crescent above
Frangipani flowers raining onto the water
Steam rising like fairy-tale mist from the surface
As I part the water’s surface, the waves circle in ever expanding soft undulating hills, creamy, velvety soft.
To the side of me and behind me and when I turn back, nothing is untouched anymore, there is no before or after, in front or behind.
All sense of time, direction and separation dissolves into the magic of this night.
