The water was as warm as spring. It was water drawn for a bath. I dived into it, washing away everything sad. It washed away everything terrifying and everything angry and everything painful.
I turned over onto my back. I wiped my eyes. The lights in the pool made some light, which made the sky harder to see, but I could still see some stars--and, of course, the moon.
I let the water around my ears drown out all the extra noise.
I simply was.
