Day 1 - April 1, 2023 - Write a poem based on a book cover*
Escape
Escape
I jump in with both feet
and slowly sink to the bottom
As the light fades
I watch the surface
gradually disappear above me
Water presses in
oddly comforting
like a weighted blanket
or reassuring hug
Suspended in silence
for a few more moments
I relish the undisturbed calm around me
Then push off
and float back up
Breaking free of the water's hold
I inhale deeply
and float
Reluctantly returning to the noise
the insanity
the confusion
of reality
*"How To Swim" - Captain Davis Dalton
