Blue Touches Green

12River34

Blue touches green on the hill.

A child runs, trying to touch the shadows of the setting sun.

The mother laughs at the golden clouds

whose shadows cover her mouth.

Long grass waves  to shape a flowing river.

They bend in time with her smile.

The child returns with news of the light         that tries to catch the night.

They walk away with a crying step.

Day turns away from both of them

and sets to kiss the night.

They both forget the day.

Instead they hope for dreams of the setting sun.
