Blue Goddess

Standing barefoot on the teak platform

She looks ahead at the shimmering pool

Waiting for a sign.

The sun breaks the silence

As it bears down upon her shoulders

And warms them like toast—

The color of her body now

After a summer’s worth of weekends.

This inner fire moves her

To step slowly toward

The abiding basin.

Whispering trees

Support the fragile marsh and beckon her

To give way

To the strain of fifty years

And  as many days of unpredictability.

In a paradise below an August sky,

She quickly turns

To catch the play and motion.

Effortlessly,

Existing weightless,

Reborn to the life

Of a blue goddess.
