Buoyancy

devotion in motion right on schedule
cherished the single sounding species
suspended in awe of the reefs beneath
engaged with her reflection uncharted
bartered life force for the story ungrown
held on tight in currents of their shadow
depth gauge held desperation death grip
for the tide it swelled sent limbs to roam
dynamic buoyancy deferred heaven's gates
companions and ambitions grossly opposed
one of a kind to capitalize the vertical
she negotiates the terms of a life unimposed
