Swimming Lessons

[audiofool]

Near the water
I am deep in thought
on the surface reflecting
for a moment

did you teach me
did I teach myself?
we're you angry
or just refusing to believe?

the God concept
nothing new here
except you revealed yourself
as feeling and concerned

with moon and stars
late summer night alone
mourning and wondering
is this all there is
and why?

I let go of a woman
I gained a thousand tears
a hurt that heals
so much loss to live

someone new appears
beautiful, alluring, mysterious
with kind eyes
and a beneficent smile

I'll take my time
coffee and conversation
Jesus, be patient
and don't let me drown.
