Falling.
I'm falling, falling.
I dive towards the far-away ground,
Tiny specks of land and water are rocking below me
Seeing the blue of the sky I pass through
I think there must be details,
But they are all a blur
As I fall.
I'm approaching, advancing.
I move closer to the water, crashing below.
Inhale deeply, I savour the crisp, cool air speeding around me
It's almost to fast to catch,
But the salty-sweet smell of the ocean
Lies buried in the breeze that holds me
As I collide.
I'm meeting, greeting.
The force of the crystal water.
Soaking through my clothes with it's bitter coolness
Numbs my limbs with icy breath,
Making me shudder while my body begs
For the warmth it once knew
As I sink.
I'm noting, noticing.
The water sucking me up hungrily
Like I'm a tasty morsel as I sink deeper through inky depths
I'm waiting to hear the sound of it all
But eerie silence is all there is
Nothing but heartbeats
As I fade to black.
I'm pulsing, waiting.
A sudden rush courses through my veins
The will to surface rises against the intoxicating waters
I look up through churning water where shafts of light shine through
And as my face breaks into the topsy-turvy world
I breathe.
