Rocky Lagou

The Mirror of Dawn

A stony riverbank that crumbles in a blink,

And the stream that rushes and gushes like euphoric eruptions.

Finding, sprinting, needing, hunting – down, down, down

Across the other side less trodden.

Where orchards lounge daylong.

The fall, and wind, the plummet.

An apple; windfall.

The ripeness eating all.

Until the journey leads me to a listless lake,

Calmer than the oaken log – and pictures paint before me:

The Light – the Head – the Dawn.
