The waters seemed so peaceful and calm. I could see the reflection of the sunset on the lake. I sat by it and looked at my own reflection. I dropped a pebble into the waters over my reflection creating a series of ripples over myself. I saw my figure wavered under the ripples. I thought to myself if that was what I'm made of. I always loved the tranquility of being underwater, the quietness that seemed so light. Once again, I plunged into the lake to feel it. I closed my eyes and felt so light underwater. It seemed to me that I belonged to this tranquility that formed this universe. I let go of myself and drifted to where it might bring me to. Water started filling my lungs, I knew I was out of air. Yet, the pain was nothing compared to the enlivenment my heart felt. Tears flowed and merged with the water, the significance of my body, soul tying in together with the water as one. Just as I lose myself to this tranquility, I saw a hand. A hand that would haul me up.
I felt my heart stopped beating. I didn't know where I was. All the emotions that I felt were gone, leaving me with the ease of an empty heart. I remembered the hand that was pulling me before I lost my conscious. And I opened my eyes, I was lying by the lake, just looking at you. I did not know who you were, but I knew I was rebirth.
