My friend and I were walking down The vivid and leaf-covered way In the forest, then we heard the sound Of a rock being hit with a water's spray. ____________________________________________________ The sun, glistening on the flowing river of light, shone on the sparkling liquid and cast a glow into the rainbow cloud of mist gathering in the air. The forest on the sides of the river rustle with a gentle wind, soothing the troubled soul. ____________________________________________________ Soon after that we came to a clearing And knew that we were nearing The sound of the rushing river. Somehow, it all seemed familiar... ____________________________________________________ The water, as if it had the consciousness to know that human and dragon were approaching, gathered up a small wave of itself and hurled it at the awaiting shore, already moistened from the previous eddies. ____________________________________________________ In no hurry, we arrived at the shore And took a good look around. A strange feeling came, like we'd been here before... ...and there were our tracks on the ground. ____________________________________________________ A withered and worn book, floating on the water, yellowed as if it had barely made its journey through time to find the two explorers on the shore. ____________________________________________________ Henry bent down and the book he retrieved From the current that carried it askew. He asked, "How old do you think this can be?" "You know, I really wish I knew." In the book were sketches and notes Of two that here they had been. There was a paper inscribed were their hopes-- And a picture of me and my friend... Apparently, a dragon and kid like me Had trekked through this region long ago. They had logged all they had found and seen And had cast it through time for others to know. So we set it back to the stream of time That had brought it to us here. We couldn't keep it--we must keep in mind That future friends might hold it dear. So then we left, found our way back home To get some rest, and later on roam Some more. ____________________________________________________ The time-worn book floated gently past two hikers, one human, one dragon, as they had stopped to eat. The dragon reached down to pick up the aging collection of notes and hopes. And the two began to read. ____________________________________________________ |
