At the Blue River

Solitary I stand at the Blue River,
remaining there,
I look astonished at the pebbles,
shining  like diamonds,
without the dust of the past,
brilliant.

Solitary I stand at the Blue River,
covered by tiny mist.
Millions of  droplets
reflect the daylight,
slowly.

Solitary I stand at the Blue River,
but my thoughts are drifting with the wind,
forcing far clouds  to haste,
breathless.
