Grace Filled Movement
Valorie Mall
The cool water slides smoothly over my body.
I glide as gracefully through the fluid,
As I move clumsily through the air
When I am on solid ground.
Water gives me limp free movement.
I feel poised and beautiful.
My arms move in perfect rhythm.
Legs kicking to match their pace.
I float gently in a liquid cradle.
Right now I savor the beautiful sensation,
Of painless movement and joyful expression.
I roll, spin, and somersault,
Impossible movement on solid land,
But here within my watery kingdom,
I am free to move as I please.
