WATER

I can feel it all around me
It's so smooth and so soft
I feel so free and safe
I don’t have to worry about anything

I can feel it touching my skin
Moving back and forth
It's so unpredictable
You have no idea what’s going to happen

I start moving slowly
Getting faster and faster
I get lifted to the surface
It feels like I am walking on the water

The splashes of water on my face
Going over all the waves
I feel like I am flying on water
That’s why I love water skiing so much
