The Chattahoochee

Class of 2017
Warm summers and bright blue skies rain down on the flowing water.
I find myself standing on an outstretched open island.
Chilling water captures my skin, embracing it in a frigid hold.
The soft sticky sand cradles my toes as they dig deeper and deeper.
Chattering geese graze their feet in the water as they take off for flight.
Canoers in their drifting boats draw their paddles, ready to fight the water.
This calming aura hypnotizes everyone as the trickling water lulls them to sleep.
Children play by the water as a small laughter fills the air.
A cool breeze tickles my skin as it softly caresses my cheek.
A light aroma brushes my nose with a fresh scent of spearmint.
