Great Lake Swimmers Alone But Not Alone
The wire is mended, awaiting the deep
Out on the water we will be set free
Ready to receive
There could be a great glow if the conditions are right
Shot through with light
Moving fast through the swell of the right
I am alone but not alone
I am here but hardly at all
I am alone but alone
I am here waiting for your call
I contemplate the measure of the sea
I think about the work ahead of me
And figure it must be its own reward
And you would be right to call me wide-eyed
Heart open wide
