"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."
- Loren Eiseley


Blue sea rolling

Boat rocking

I feel free

Then I realize:

I’m in the boat

Stuck between rails

It’s only an illusion

I’m trapped

I wonder

Will I ever

Will I ever be free

Free from the metal bars

Holding me back

From swimming

To freedom


I imagine being

Being a turtle

Sliding under the rail

Swimming free

Into the blue sea.

This poem reminds me of the pandemic we're in; it feels like it's holding me back from life a little.
