When I Swim

Doing strokes through
The crisp, clear blue water
Makes the water
Start to massage every inch of my body,
From fingertip to toe.
A relaxing intensity develops
And after a good swim,
A calm, endorphin rush
Puts my head in the clouds.
And when I take a nap,
It feels like I’m resting in heaven
