down by the river

we took a walk down by the river in the falling rain

we stepped on stones with the weight of water taking us away 

shoes on the bank

shirts on the shore

and we left no foot steps behind

there is a reason water holds the paths of gods & demons

of monsters & mermaids

and there is a reason it rains

~mlb~

 

sometimes it is hard to say good-bye

even when it is for the best.
