Summer Joys
My face slams into the water
 it fills my mouth and nose.
 I quickly try to bring my head 
 Above the surface, and turn my body
 Deep breaths of cool, crisp air
 Are sucked into my lungs.
 
 I grab the rope and on my back,
 turn my body around to face the boat.
 What is under me?  I briefly wonder,
 before the boat accelerates and
 I am violently jerked upright. 
 
 Now on two feet, gliding over the surface
 the dark blackish blue depths pass underfoot.
 The wind blows my hair back, and
 sends a chill through my soaking body.
 I can smell how clean the air is,
 the smell of pine and the 
 coming rain filling my nostrils
 I am so alive,
 the adrenaline coursing in my body.
 
 Over and over again i repeat this process,
 Living for the rush and intense excitement.
 Summer joys.
