cotton hollow
the continuous sunlight although gapped is here stopped by my skin where it brings patches of soothing warmth and insight even in the shadows where there are no gaps between the leaves to admit the sun i feel comfort from the air itself a mere breath of a breeze touches my face and brings welcome refreshment as my body deflects it and forms eddies and an idle concept i think i've been watching the stream flow by smoothly curving over and around the stepping stones dutifully carrying away debris and fish and leaves it seems quite clear that the stones direct the current since mere fluid water is no match for solid rock but long after this moment has passed after i'm gone from this place the unceasing river will have further carved these same stones |
