sparkling refractions of light, the burning in my chest, and sweet, soft and bitterly cold water.
pushing myself to the very bottom of the pool & gazing up at the way the light shines down. the indescribable feeling of swimming. the smell of chlorine or the tacky, saltiness of the sea. waves that crash and bruise. waves that caress and kiss. scent that never leaves my skin. it’s heaven on earth.
