A boy swims alone
In sea reaching to the sun.
Look! His head! Gleaming!

    i understand the point, the picture, you are trying to paint.
    for some reason it emerged rather jumble.

    remake time, or i wonder if i might say suggestion time???

    case in point:

    A boy swims alone
    his head gleems and…
    touches the sun.

    or something along this line. you have marvelous vision, a “little” more development in your writings, would take you to the next level.
