Underwater

Underwater
by Diyana Gonzalez

Weightless in water
Awash in blue and green
Perfectly clear
As the purest crystal

I hear a beautiful silence
Hidden away from the world
No cares, no troubles,
No worries or woes
Nothing but sweet silence
Total tranquility

And just when I get comfortable,
I realize I can’t breathe
Do I drown or retreat to safety?
But this desire to stay below
Wishing to have gills
Wanting to live in such a weightless world

The sunlight becomes blinding
As I break surface
Wind blows
And I feel exhilarated
But my journey doesn't end

I take another breath
And dive again down into the depths,

Eager to be with tranquility once more.
