The River

Like the flow of blood through the vein and
Sensual feel of cold drink through the throat,
I feel refresh and happy sinking dip into it,
The patting hands of the sun adds to this sensation,
and the dancing aquatic creatures is a sight to behold,
The soothing effect of its cold touch on my skin makes
me shiver,as I grab a rocky stone for support.
I raise my head to be free from its tentacles,. grasping for air.
