Analysis of Lasting impression
I walk on the beach and smell the water
fresh and salty it is
on my head a diving mask
waiting for me to use
I bend over and tip with my finger
some water on it to taste
I make a long face, disgusting
not so clever of me
I walk into the water and put my mask on
slide underwater and look around
I see all kind of beautiful fish
in the colours of the rainbow
I cannot open my mouth to gasp
when this beauty is hitting me
I quickly swim to the surface
astonished and dazzled as I am
I tread water for a while to
give the impressions a place
while I am listening to
the calmly rippling water
