Summer

The wind blows and moves the waves effortlessly

The warm air makes the chill of the water feel refreshing

I can feel the prickly green carpet underneath my feet

As I run and jump off of the pontoon

When I’m in the water the safety of the pontoon is gone

I stay under the water as long as I can

Until my lungs are screaming for air

I surface with a gasp taking in the new air

Looking down into the black murky water

I can’t even see my toes

A weed comes by and brushes against my leg

I feel a little fish nimble on my toe

I lay back and relax and enjoy the feeling of summer
