The pool glowed with sparkle, as the water rushed swiftly and gently from the ledge of the small fountain. The sight was breathtaking as I prepared myself to leap into this moist oasis. I floated into the water with a graceful hop and let the water swallow my entire body. The water cooled my skin, yet warmed my soul. The water swished calmly through my hair as my body caressed the smooth liquid. Sunlight stabbed its way through the water, as I willingly allowed the light to be absorbed by my pale skin. My lungs hungered for oxygen as I pulled myself up and away, slicing through the broken surface of the water. My lips curved upward into a meaningful, yet slight smile as air rushed through my nose, filling my lungs with gold. With the mountains in my view, I sighed. The essence of a perfect moment traveled through my entire body, making my eyes close in total peace. Then an unwanted thought intruded on my paradise. Oh no! I forgot to put on sunscreen!
