a blankness settled...a vista vast

 high did sit the splash pool
the wind blowing quite cool
the water clear the call to dip
the cover only slightly to flip.

the tepid warmth of waters welcoming
the jets gentle weary bones attacking
the mind non-existent a blankness settled
the bodies weight in the seat nestled.

 the vista stretching for miles ahead
the skies eternal it be said
the splash pool teetering on a rocks edge
away from the sheer drop backing from the ledge.

no emergency no call a crisis to end
the peace the quiet a busy mind to mend
why is it that time seemed to last forever
could it be that we chase it, to rest never?

a floating state of affairs the body felt
no wish arms or legs to control but rather melt
the right surrounding a new mindset did awaken
no more guilt, what a blessing the holiday taken.
