Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

The shadows follow you never falling behind.
The Wind whispers,"follow me to the river",
trees protect the river from sun,
But rivers doing can still be undone
As season moves,we may feel lost and cry,
But still,rivers'tears will scar the ground
For even in droughts,traces are to be found
But for today,the river will gush high,to show us all,
That through life there will be so much more
So I walk along the riverside,
playing skipping stones 'til the sun hides.
