The Lake, The Pool

Swimming underwater is the best. The whole world gets shut out. It's just you and the water. You hold your breath and get to catch it all back as you break through the surface, toward the sun. As you glide under the water, your legs become like a frog's and your arms like an eagle. Your belly slides against the bottom. You're running out of air, but you want a few more stokes. Your lungs contract in your chest. More air! More air!
You break the surface. Toward the sun.
