Water

I lay on my back in the water, looking up into the dark night sky. I watch the small stars twinkle brightly, and I wonder, is Gabriel up there watching over me? Is my son dancing amongst the stars? I close my eyes for a brief moment and listen to the sounds around me, my ears submerged in the water. Is this what it sounded like for my baby? My friends voices are muffled, Gary's is too but it sounds peaceful and loving. I imagine what it would sound like with all the noises of my body, the loud thumping of my heart that would have sung him to sleep. I imagine listening to that peaceful voice reading to me...beautiful. I think back to the memories, all the times I sang to him, every secret of my love I whispered to him...he knew me. In the water I wonder if this was his little life, hearing me, hearing the world, hearing my heart beat...
