That's How I'd Like To Go

That's how I'd like to go, calmly, peacefully, givingly.

The soft rain thundered from the heavens. I skipped bare footed along the cobbled, stony path. The raging winds scooped up my hair and held it high in it's grasps. I wore a single necklace laced round my neck. A dropped top revealing my plane white bra, wearing only underwear and the thin top. In the distance I could hear the crashing waves against the rocks. 

Gripping my glasses firmly in my hands I flung them to ground. I heard them hit the floor and the glass smash. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the shards glisten in the few rays of light, between the dark clouds over head. The fresh air was so intoxicating, like a drug, never been used, for the first time and once only. 

I gripped my ring and starred at he emerald gem butterfly encased in a silver. I twisted it off my finger noticing a green rim around my finger. Holding the little ring in my left hand I threw it over my shoulder. It clanked as it hit the millions of tiny stones, the noise was softened by the heaving rain. 

As the sole of my feet stepped on the chalky stones it made a loud squelching noise. My hair felt heavy on my back socked with water. The water dripped down my back like a soothing lullaby, lulling me gently to sleep. I ruffled my hair then quickened my skip. The winds got stronger holding me back. I refused to let them. I battled through them. They would not stop me. 

It was so close. I could hear it, the crashing of the waves had become so loud it was as if I was the cliff they were hitting. Dragging down my several bracelets I heard them tap the ground one by one, they hit with different sounds and brethts of noise. Like and Orchestra  of wind, rain, jewelry and sea. 

I came so close the waves were so high I could feel the spray of the ocean. The salt that paraded in the air filled my mouth. I focused on the blackened clouds with vibrant white and yellow light rays coming from the opening. 

I began to sprint, my feet barely hit the ground. I lifted up the thin, wet, see through top over my head. I left it on the ground. Discarded. With one more step I had taken, one too many steps. 

It felt so weightless. I was at peace I had nothing left to loose. I'd lost everything in years before. The air didn't feel harsh on my skin, it was gentle, caressing, sensual. 

I welcomed the freezing temp of the clear water. As I hit the water It felt as if it had engulfed me. I took me in and never wanted to let go. Slowly my lungs filled with that water. It took me for good. I turned with the water, looking up to heavens as I slowly was taken away. 

Taken away from all of this, taken from my life, taken away from my troubles. It had consumed me. I had consumed it. 

That is the way I would have chosen, be sent away with the water I loved. Looking up to a sight I had adored.

Author's Note

hmmm, I think the ending is a let down I may change it. The girl in this story is suffering from stress and depression. Everything in her life has already been take way, so she is merely informing her self of the way she had imagined to go.
