dipping my toes, back into the inky deep

As i slide across the kings of the sea
   their power rolls beneath me.
The smooth silken touch of their inky skin
   beckons me to slide on in.

The clouds begin to steal their metal hue
   these royals turn pearled-copper.

a long time between drinks, to be continued...

heat - wave

so the weather is hot. has been, for about a week now.

the sun is punishing, the westerly air is warm and the flies are out. Days have reached 34^ at their peak, sapping what little energy and motivation i have - especially at school. Who want to argue with teens when there is sweat rolling down your back. (gee, sorry about that)

so ive sought refuge in any place i can - most often an early trip to the beach, or an afternoon dip in the in-laws pool. the cool aqua blue soothes so nicely. i dip, i bask, i dip, i swim and i dip. such awakening refreshment.

stay cool.

holiday musings continue:

each morning (besides the holy sunday sleep-in) was greeted by an early walk along the beach, just north of the Fremantle port. it is such a beautiful way to begin a day, even if it starts as a little windy and miserable, you leave fresh and spritely.

each morning the sun cast our shadows into the shallows of the Indian Ocean. thats me with my aunty and uncle.
