Serenity Of The Waves

I was sitting by the river today...
It's current calling my name.
Angry and pulsing
From yesterday's rain.

It's sounds were melodic,
Repetitive.
Soothing.
Serene.
Peaceful.

I close my eyes and let my mind drift away.
To a place far away.
Far away from here.
Somewhere in the back of my mind.

I almost want to slip over the edge.
I almost want to fall in.
I almost want to feel something.
I almost want to feel alive.
I almost want to be drug under the surface.

I stand up.

Smiling, I lean forward...

"Why the hell not?"
