Feelings

The water looks very cold and sharp, it is green and still, I close my eyes and feel my chest fills up with fresh hot air, with my eye closed I look up and the sun touches my eyelids gently. I hold the air for a second, breath out and it's time to let go. Heart is madly racing, skin is burning in the desert sun and a sweet warmth comes from inside, starts deep in the belly and goeswith the blood flow all over the body. It's the fire in the belly, that mix of tickle in the lower spine, fast heartbeat and a shivering skin even though it's not cold at all. That's the magic time when thoughts and emotions switch sides and you can't tell between them, it's a time with no burden, no responsibilities, for a split second the soul can be naked, without all the armors and burns, not hiding behind walls of sadness and disappointment, time of freedom.

Eyes still shut, his body stretches up to be as long as it can, long as stiff it hits the water that accept him smoothly as if it was waiting for him with thousand nails ready to bite his skin and break it to make room for the new skin to take place, in the new skin there will be room for the new soul.
Eyes open, the water is green and he swims up towards the spot of light until he reach the surface and look around him, same feeling of standing on the edge of a dark hole in the ground hits him in the head, same faces of his friends are looking ant him through a wall of glass, waiting out there. The magic is gone. He is back to the same world.
