Two breaths into the sunshine and you're off the crazy ledge; stumbling, backing away gasping. By the time you get to your bench by the water you're home. The sun glistens, the water laps, the geese squak, airplanes make lazy circles and it feels like peace. It smells like summer. And it sounds like blissful quiet, outside quiet.
The sun begins to set, a smokey haze climbs to the sky from somewhere across the lake, and your mind is quiet.
Two hours later, you can go back home. Inside. Eat some dinner, take a long hot shower, deep-condition mask your hair, manicure your fingers, pedicure your toes, and drift off to sleep. A Drop In The Ocean crooning in the background of your mind. Peacefully.
