Consumed with the pattern of his step.
his feet following one after the other, after the other.
The child walking on top of unpaved stone,
which inconsistently shows through the ragged dirt.

Generating at a steep slant,
the earth rapidly became level,
as he had reached his intriguing destination.

The water catches the sunlight,
giving the onward vision, a luminous glow.
Ever so carefully does it fall into a calm,
tranquil pool below the soft muddy bottom.

“This day will forever be apart of me”, he says.
A memory cherished, desired, and never forgotten.
