I Am a River That Writes Out of Time

The delicate breath of hiraeth, encroaches upon my quill, beyond the water’s edge, abruptly, she tries, to interrupt, to point towards the church upon a hill, dropping eaves onto epitaphs, for whom the river, holds still.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :) I do have a photograph of the scene that inspired it, looking down the river to the village where I grew up but it never lets me upload them!!
