Falling

I'm falling, falling faster
It feels like flying
I realise I'm going to hit the ground
Splash!
Into the unknown water
Sinking deeper into the sparkling stillness
A colourful display of glimmering fish swim around me
I'm floating up towards the blinding light
Through the surface of the clear water
To my bed and out of my dream
