Climbing so high to burn the shadows away
The sun scorched equally both skin and stones
Old Zhan rested in the heat of the day
Beside where a mountain stream trickled in play

Sandals removed and with his feet resting
On the brink above the water worn stones
Casually the well traveled toes dipping
Then comes a little hungry fish nipping

Startled at the nip pulls his feet away
Startled by the pull fish hides under stones
Laughing, sandals in hand is on his way
Tossing a few crumbs of bread for fish play.

Gloom

I used to do that!

I really liked this one!
