We run down the beach at midnight,

the dampened sand squishing between our toes,

the warm summer air gliding against our skin.

The cool distill lagoon is suddenly awakened by a dozen giggling girls,

exhilarated by the moment's thrill.

The once desolate pool, suddenly teemed with life -

frogs croak,

crickets chirp,

cicadas sing.

We twirl around the water,

fish dancing at our feet.

The water wraps around our bodies,

engulfing us in its cool embrace -

inviting us to remain there forever.

And we accept,

for in that moment we are one with the water -

we move with it,

swirl with it.

Our skin dissolved until we become it,

then suddenly re-morph back into humans,

the moment passing in the blink of an eye.
