A Snow White Moment

Moments pass away
In my mind
Only few chose to stay
This is a moment I lived one day
Carrying meanings
More than anyone can say

Walking on the bridge
Nearly at noon
The sun is strong
But,
Heavy clouds make it look like a moon
I woundered at my beloved Nile of wisdom
But it didn't look the same
I used to see it filled with regret and pain
But now
It's different
More likely to be a dream

Clouds let go of smooth soft sunrays
Found their way to the Nile they praise
Spread on its holy water
Filling it with energy
Till the last drop
Returning life to it
Regret was gone
Pain was killed
Just young snow white dancing waves
On a moonshining sparkling river
Inspiring the world with hope and power
I wish it could stay for hours

But soon
Clouds were gone
Taking away all the joy and fun
Now nothing stops the strong sun
Exposing what's locked inside 
Of dark green motions
Gathering all inside
For centuries with no cautions

But still
Parts of the sun floating on it
Like ashes of a golden dreamboat
I once sow

We're barley over 
As the sun hits the shore
Rocks break what's left of hope
Closing the last open door
The moment is over
There is no more

Returning to reality
I look back again
No doubts I'll see this moment again
No matter when
But
Would it be ENOUGH ?!

Very well penned Mostafa! I love how you have intertwined nature into your poem to reflect the different emotions. The description of the Nile is especially touching - its changes showcase well how reality changes. Very well done poem!
