I Am Floating

I find myself floating. How did I get here? Is this the sea? An ocean? A lake? Or just in a swimming pool? My hands are submerged my eyes are closed the feeling engulfs me. I feel everything around my fingers and also nothing at all. I am a cloud, I am the wind but I'm aware the weight I bear on this floating body. Every sensation is flowing through me, I feel lighter than air. Do I dare open my weary eyes? Will the light that will fill my vision burn my sights? Im comfortable, here forever i could be. Like a reed in the water, the great and sorely missed man once told me. Here is where the pain subsides, here I am weightless. Even my mind bears no heaviness Let me stay here, let my body become one with this body holding me. I have become the water engulfing me, I disappear slowly beneath. The birds sing and the breeze whistles along too. The crashing waves are my clapping audience hope you have enjoyed this show. Forever we are connected you and I For you are the sky and now I am the water below. (Dont look too much into this, I wrote it when relaxing in the bath feeling aware of how my body felt under the water while listening to pink Floyd haha)
