After what felt like forever, I finally saw a blue light it was like the closer I get,the slower I become. But when I got close enough to see what it was, discovery struck me that I wasn't falling instead levitating. What was before was a blue river,it glowed with an untainted magnificence. Gently my feet were place on the river. For a fact,I was walking on a river. Astonished by its beauty and early feeling it gaveas that of pure love. I went on my knee then poked a finger ,then a hand through the surface. It was so smooth and soft. The current felt like all my worries and suffering are being carried away. I cupped my hand and fetched some. I took a sip and it tasted like liberty,a feeling of a fresh start. Tears beaded my lashes and then begun to ran down my cheeks.. I yearned for more , overwhelmed by my desire I went in for a second taste. Taking it to my mouth ,I heard a clap which sent shocks through my body making me shiver from fear. I guess I was too lost to realize my environ. I turned to my back and saw a white boatwith afish lady -perphaps a mermaid sitted in. She seemed ensconced in her position. Sitting at the edge of the boat,she stretched out her hand to me. I didn't know what she meant, I took the hunch and close the distance between us.
Getting closer,I could finally fully gaze upon her figure-a true goddess. The luminosity of the river softly caressed her fair tender skin. The light chanced her sea-green pupils to bright. Her long silky white hair made her seem cold, bit she smiled with those pink lips. A smile that could calm the waves, radiating warmth. A smile which portrayed true beauty. Her long untangled locks run over her shoulders to cover her bare breast. The view was just perfect. Suddenly, a wind came dashing by. I endeavoured to remain unphased but my eyes failed me. When I reopened my eyes, her posture looked the same, as if the wind bypassed her. But I knew it didn't. I don't know how, but she managed to recollect her hair and placed it back in a blink. She smiled at me as if she knew what I was thinking and I smiled back a shameful one to be precise.
She game me her right hand and I took it without hesitation. It was like I knew what she was thinking without her words. I gently placed a foot then the next into the boat. Then I positioned myself into one of the cross-boards. She fell backwards, making herself go overboard then dived deep into the water. How she fell was like how a lover would jump off a bridge for her partner. I couldn't depict her position but suddenly, the boat begun to move and I knew where she was. I moved to the back of the boat to see her and there she was propelling the boat. She seemed different I thought it was my eyess bit she looked fully human in the water. I saw her feet as she swam, but didn't change anything it rather made things better.
We hadn't spoken a word to each other but we seemed the best of friends. I felt so safe with her and she looked happy around me. I wanted to know more; I wanted to see more- but the glowing water wouldn't permit my eyes. Occasionally she would leave me and dive deep. After minutes of wait she would shoot up like a dolphin going so high while turning herself 360. The only problem was that she always did it far from my sight. But I didn't mind. Watching her have fun just kept fueling my joy.
For an unknown number of time, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I wanted to break numerous revirbrating sound of silence. Looking down at her I asked:
"What is your na..."- Before I could end, astonishment left me speechless. The words went back down hanging in my throat. The locked themselves back in the voice box. Silence shocked me, my mind blew up. My heart raised. But you know what?- I didn't care. For that was the best moment in my life and my death. What took my breath was a kiss. A kiss which made the whole world seem mine. A kiss which held tightly passion and love. I would die a trillion times more for oneore of that moment. But good things never last. In three seconds, though my opened eyes proved my conciousness, my brain wasn't. My mind and my all went numb in those seconds of glory. I wanted to hold her tightly, but just couldn't. Those godly seconds ended when she dived back into the water. After minutes of silence I thought to myself, "Did she flee because she kissed a stranger, or because she flashed her boobs to a stranger?"
I waited for so long but she didn't resurface. Though I couldn't sighther, I knew she was still with me, for the boat still moved on corse. My eyes got bored at starring at the rocky ceiling. They wished for something oddly new, something with a figure. The embodiment of perfection.
'What is at the end of this voyage?' I have thought many times. 'Is this the river to the afterlife?' I conjectured. 'Maybe reincarnation is real and this is my way to a new life.' I assumed.
The silence was killing me. 'Did I get everything wrong and that she was angry at me?' Things kept running through my mind. I wanted to see her again so bad. Once more, I want to feel her skin, look in her charming eyes and share another passionate kiss. I steeled my resolve. 'I will go to her.' I thought. I stood in the boat ready to swim. I jumped for the water head first ready to dive.
"BANG!" A painful current run through my body as a result of the impact. It felt like hitting concrete. 'Damn how could water be this hard.' I couldn't help it but let out an extreme scream. The scream was so loud that the still water, the boat and even the rocky walls shook- I thought. It was like an earthquake. I hoped back into the boat hoping that embarrassing scene was not sighted.
