Floating With The Sea

Daydreaming

wondering if he’ll be caught

skipping school

momentous thoughts to finish

rough waves capturing imagination

while dolphins hurdle

errant thoughts ricocheting

around his bouncing mind

wind skimming his face

ruffling his hair

scooting jitters out of his mind

heart beating to rhythm of whitecaps

pounding drumbeats

rat-a-tat sound of the ocean

always in the periphery

of his drifting mind

capturing reflections

as he floats with the sea.
