Depth

She allowed the slow current to move her across, forming quiet ripples that broke the monotony of the sea. Her muscles begin to relax as she becomes one with nature. Her senses were heightened; she could feel the gentle lapping of salt water against her skin and was surprised at how cooling it was despite the minute grains of salt rubbing her legs and arms. Her almond eyes were directly looking up at the cloudless sky of intense blue. A tear snaked down the side of her face. Her mouth quivered as she tried to suppress a cry. It overwhelmed her as she realized that there is no end point to how far the sky can stretch above the sea. 

The silence was deafening. 

I am finally free, she thought, heaving her last breath.
