Moonflow

Lets go back to that place. You know the place that I’m talking about? The place where we all sat down together and talked about how it would look when night fell. you said, It would spark up with thousands of glittering waves of light ,like glowing snakes dancing in the night sky. The moon would reflect off the water and give the atmosphere a dim, silver radiance. Every secret hidden by the veil of sunshine, would be revealed at night. The water would become completely still, as if time itself had stopped. We would sit there and bask in what looked like a marriage between the sky and the earth. The spheres of light with soft blue tails would drift over our heads, and move slowly back toward the forest, emitting a trail of waves and lines. We’d try to grab them with our hands only to have them slip through our fingers, for one could never hold onto something so pure. Then we’d talk and joke until the sun come out, and we would do it all again in the nights to follow.
Thats what you said, all those years ago…

Now I sit here alone, Waiting for night to fall. As the darkness crept toward me from the horizon, I smiled.
It was just as she described.
