The River of Stars

By: Mika Ella D.R Balquin

It was strange,
For the flow to change,
Coming from the dark blue sea,
I see it flowing to the river before me.

Affect with wonder by the dancing crowd of luminous lights,

I run and reach my hand on the river of fireflies,
Flooded with delight I tried to catch the mystic circles despite knowing it
was impalpable,
It pass through my hand, deformed and back again,
Knowing the outcome I still tried a hundred times to catch it.

Knowing this night will finally end I was filled with disappointment,
But knowing an another day will come I was taken up with excitement,
Below me was an enormous mirror filled of reflecting lights,
By the sea of myriad stars above me.
