waterfall

By eske

waterfall
My eyes are closed...
The water is falling all around me.
It's cold....
I open my eyes slowly.
I notice that the gentle morning colors make evereything look blue.
My pressure is low and I'm relaxed.
My lips are turning purple from the water's cold freezing kiss. My eyes gray and being washed away... I can't breathe as good.
Right then I dive down straight to the fall. Into the shallow water I fall.
Like a crystal glass I shatter but each shard with a beautiful gleam and glow before turning into sand.
