The misted river

In moonlight rush, the river waves at me

The surface shimmers like diamonds shattered

A liquid dance, sunlight moving across

While currents sing, the night comes closer

And shadows wander around

The trees line up like ants crawling on the floor

I dip my toes into the cold water

The tiny creatures nibble on my dry skin

Moonlight shimmers on the water

The mist falls like a waterfall washing down my arms

The air gets even more thin and crisp

My throat gets tighter and tighter and tighter

Suddenly thunder hits my eye

The aqua-clear water rotates the other way

As if it is guiding me somewhere

I follow it, leaving muddy footprints behind

I stop, the river stops, silence strikes
