Bodies, moving
in sync to hypnotic beat
arms, feet flying
near hits and misses
smiles still on our faces
Cool, cool water
flowing steady downstream
sweat and laughter
brown skin taut from sunlight
and energy free from worry
Food and drink nourish
the parched, tired body
laughter, kinship
fill the heart
fulfill the soul
Moist, sticky air
coats the body, burning
sizzling as you take
a nosedive plunge
into cool blue water
Cooling breeze comes
but smiles stay warm
happiness, content
a sense of happy independence
and dependent happiness
