I breathe
bubbles rise.
Underwater is
Silent, can't hear
little kids scream and splash
Peaceful
my hair flows around my head
in rolling auburn waves
No goggles
chlorine stings my open eyes
I could stay
Forever
in this feeling of
Freedom, peace lulling me to sleep
My lungs burn
and I'm reminded
of my human need for oxygen
Feet push with a crack
off pristine off-white concrete
shimmering with Sunlight patterns
shining through water
I gasp
Breath fills my lungs
Peace, still lingering,
is ruptured by a Kid
with a Water Gun.

I breathe
bubbles rise.
Underwater is
Silent, can't hear
little kids scream and splash
Peaceful
my hair flows around my head
in rolling auburn waves
No goggles
chlorine stings my open eyes
I could stay
Forever
in this feeling of
Freedom, peace lulling me to sleep
My lungs burn
and I'm reminded
of my human need for oxygen
Feet push with a crack
off pristine off-white concrete
shimmering with Sunlight patterns
shining through water
I gasp
Breath fills my lungs
Peace, still lingering,
is ruptured by a Kid
with a Water Gun.
