Ascension too fast
Lungs explode before tongues meld
alive once again
Fine pointillism
clarity from a distance
planets at the edge
Shout hallelujah
frenzied oxygenation
salt water on lips
Accelerating
behind us time looms ahead
wrapped implicitly
Love again refrains
adrift on sunny sandbars
palm fruits, dates, acai
We are young again
stellate beings thrice reborn
twice kissed we are alone
Two swimmers azure
water beaded sky blues hope
refracted visions
Before words we were
nothing, pointed subtlety
essentially stars
Will never lose me
mouthed indistinguishably
there underwater

I loved the whole poem, but the ending especially; there is something weirdly peaceful being underwater, willingly.
Happy 2024! Thank you. Unwillingly, not so much 🙂
