The Weightlessness Between the Waves

I lift a single finger, and suddenly my body forgets its weight. The water around me is not heavy; it lifts me up like the ocean knows exactly how to cradle something precious that has been dropped from too high in city air.

My breath floats upward, released with each exhale—carrying all those old fears of falling back down into crowded streets and rushing schedules. Here, there is only warmth on my skin where sun kisses me without judgment or demand for more than what I can give.

I close my eyes briefly as a wave brushes against me—not an intrusion but rather a gentle embrace that whispers: You are allowed to be soft here; you do not need armor today. And so I open them again slowly, feeling lighter still—as if love itself has decided it wants nothing more than this moment suspended in time.

In these waters between thought and touch, everything feels possible—desire unbound by gravity’s cruel laws.
