The_Underscore

I stood there for quite a while, staring down at the swirling waters beneath the bridge. There were quite a few rocks and a couple of major obstacles that I could see; the liquid crashed about chaotically, creating that unexplainable froth on it’s way downstream - A gift for the stationary perspective.

My attention was dancing about the cloud of one such froth when a gust of wind dusted it away from it’s domain and thus I was forced to return on my journey. A spark in this perpendicular reality, I did not overly want to leave the convergence; I did so anyways though, the sheer desire to continue on is inevitable.

The sun was setting now, eclipsing all of my intentions towards a bland horizon. It would be dark soon, I continued on with a smile, my feet felt lighter.

Just an observation - you use a lot of water imagery and descriptions of water, do you swim a lot? Is it a conscious stylistic tweak?

No… I can’t say I swim alot, though my family has a pool.

I hadn’t really noticed it too much, but you might have a point… I’m really not sure what the deal is, it’s not a conscious thing though. I suppose it’s just so multi-faceted as concept, it’s easy to work into whatever metaphor you will.
