Nightfallen
As I walk through five rivers,
a blanket of freshly fallen leaves
is laid out in front of me.
At the river's edge,
I watch as dusk descends and tries to steal the last light of day.
And for a moment, the light hangs,
on the cusp of darkness -
The rocks in front of me are transformed
and I feel like I am part of it.
It brings tears to my eyes -
I blink and darkness has won.
