A Dream

When the pressure on his throat released he fought the urge to kick straight for the surface. He could still see her and wondered how it was he could see tears flow down her cheeks.
He pushed up and he thought he heard her singing,the light sweet voice of this childhood. When he looked back he saw the beams of this light spear out from the bottom,arrow to her so she was illuminated in his shaft.
and he watched her fade away like a dream..
Breaking the surface,he sucked his air that burned his scored throat.  Sunlight sparkled in his eyes,dazzling them and through the roaring in his ears there were voices calling his name..
Through the dazzle,he found L standing on the verge,a hand pressed to her belly,on the wrist of that hand,ruby hearts glittered like hope.He swam through the lillies towards her,swam away from death towards life.
The sun filtered throught the leaves of sycamores and oaks and cast pretty pattern of light and shadows on the green on the grass.On the branches birds sang filling the balmy air with music.

He took her shoulders,turned her toawrd him,toward the sunlight. He took the ring out of his pocket,slipped it onto her finger and lowered his lips to hers.

With their hands clapsed,they walked away from death,into love and life.
No one sang there,but its gardens bloomed.
