The Waterfall

Clear liquid cascading down into the gentle quiet pool below. Moonlight glinting off the soft water. Ebony night surrounds me.

It’s a crisp evening with a slight chill in the air. I dive into the cool clean water so clear I can see the tiny pebbles at the bottom.

The water is aerated. Suddenly I feel two arms embrace me. I’m not afraid. I know who it is even though we’ve never met. I’m finally safe.
