The Raft at Island Bay Beach | Ella McGovern

Ice cold water slips over my body as I make my way over to the ‘raft’. Salt splashes into my mouth. I grasp the ladder and pull myself up. Sun warms my back. The waves rock the floating box back and forth. I want to lie there forever swaying and listening to the faint cries of children.

Wind screams, branches shake
Rain pelts down, down, down.
Windows rattle, leaves fall
Temperature drops down, down down.
Pebbles shake, roofs wet

My happiness drops down, down, down.
