The River
September 13, 2017
Down the valley
up the hill
through the thicket
past the pastures
onward to the river I march.
Under the glowing sun
past the clouds growing darker by the day
in the woods alive with creatures
around the hundreds of years old trees
onward to the river I march.
A hundred feet closer
a few steps nearer
around a rock of fifty pounds
onward to the river I reach.
As I lay there
I fell asleep
where the river runs free.
