Dark Blue Water

Blue water surrounds me. Everywhere I look, there is water.

Dark shadows color the corners, my vision is blurry from the water.

I slowly sink to the bottom, my arm outstretched over my head.

I hear air going out of me. The sound of silent water is indeed pretty.

I still float. I linger. Nothing is seen but dark blue water.

There is light from above. A shadow peers at me.

An arm goes through the water and tries to hold me.

Mesmerized, silent, I reach up to him.

I hold on to the strong hand and quickly, I was pulled out of the water.

I was on dry land. I cough. I breathe.

And then, there was only me.
