that day
I remember
removed from the chatter
it was August
again
still
existing
living
leaning
towards the river
like a willow
bending
and lending me
a little

of its strength
by and by
the water passes
from the past
meandering
upon
those paths
that other sunny day

an island
I am
and those days
though
they were vivid
another season
another time

other interpretations of…  Vibrant
