You run along rivers

I flow in unison with.

Seeing you there,

Searching for bridges.

Stopped on overrun riverbank.

Deep water pulls me in.

Enticing me, streaming whispers

Torn apart by expanse,

Chasing notions of love.

Stepping stones in my mind,

Used to bring us close.

We dance through cold nights

until bracing morning comes

waking us from delusion

River slows to meandering pace

Revealing bashed, unbroken bridge

I dare not cross this distance

for love lives on in memory.

Across unmoving stones on wild rivers

They wait to be tread upon

Revealing lost wonders.
