The Rock

Watching the cool September water roll off the rocks, I thought back to a time when I was younger. Back to a time when life was easy, when all i thought about was jumping off that large rock protruding out of the coolness of the deep blue lake. Thinking about this I take off my shoes and socks and dip my toes into the water. After I decided that the water was too cold and i didnt want to catch hypothermia, I instead decided that i would just sit on the jagged ill-formed rock and admire the beauty of the surrounding woods and mountain ranges.  As i stood up to leave I looked across the water and saw a whitetail deer running across the shore on the other side. Walking back through the woods towards the car, I heard the birds and squirrels chirping and barking, bidding me a farewell until next time.
