I went out into the sea
ready to die
waves crashing at my knees
salt water lifted me
I was made alive
beach walk brought me home
sand sucked my toes
sun on skin
and out on the horizon
the boatman comes
I went out into the sea
ready to die
waves crashing at my knees
salt water lifted me
I was made alive
beach walk brought me home
sand sucked my toes
sun on skin
and out on the horizon
the boatman comes
Hold air like water
float
traverse skyward
in a dream
unbroken

dVerse prompt on AI. This picture came out of an AI program at the Dali Museum in St Petersburg. My childhood dream of swimming in air was typed into the program and this picture was created by AI.
This being human is more than I expected
not a turnip rooted dramatically where seeded
my mobility’s extra push is get up and go
walk in the forest
hike a mountain
swim in the ocean
pray

dVerse prompt on Rumi’s This being human is…..
In my dream I am swimming again
Through the air
But this time
The air feels like water
It has substance
I can get a hold on it
And move forward
