Dark River

Dark river
The still
Lost stories
The will

Nightjar or skylark
The water doesn’t care
Moonshine or sunlight
Don’t you dare

Questions for the waters?

Too many words unspoken
Too many secrets stolen
Too many tears eaten by cold waters
Dark rivers tell nothing

Moon glistens on dark water
Mist settles as mind wonders
How many lives lost their living on a cold night in this dark river?
