First Lessons

And then you were ready
With your flippers
With your face mask
With your oxygen bottle

And now you are heading out
From the thirty-metre mark
Towards the diving area
In the deeper water

Still you are on the surface
Though I only know that it is you
Because I know that it is you

Any moment now you will be gone
Already the camera loses you
In the sun-speckled waters

Does this count as loneliness
Does this count as exhilaration
Could I go further and say ecstasy

Of a sudden my back pain is gone
Your joy is my joy
Your sense of adventure is my adventure
