428th Weekly Poetry Contest honorable mention: you are an infinite soul

by miriamb2400

long lost sea, you think of the ocean
a lot
but never swim;

your head is never under water and
your feet just touch
the waves.

your fingers glide,
these atoms that stick together
on your skin;

you ponder the way the surface 
creases like
tissue paper,
full to bursting...

today, your body is 
brand new,
just as you were born and 
always have been.

glow like pulpy fruit, gorging juices and
tight veins;
untouched, your first breath again, wide-
eyed,
cheeks round like blown 
Bubble Yum, your 
eyes little buttons just
dropped on 
top;

infinite soul that you are.
