A Summer Swim

My hair floats around me as I dive beneath the surface,
I lose the feeling of gravity and feel the ease of the water surrounding me,
I imagine being trapped beneath ice,
Having my hands pressed up against a cold, solid wall,
Keeping me under,
But eventually I run out of breath,
And I resurface,
Gasping for air,
Feeling the weight of my wet hair trying to pull my head down,
I let it and look up at the sky,
The clear, sunny sky,
A light breeze lifts the droplets off of my skin and I duck back under,
Feeling the cool, warmth of the water envelope me,
As I give in,
Letting the water swallow me whole
