The sea grows tired
of being at the coastline.
Gives up a little freedom and
flows inland. Silent as a ghost.

The sea sails slowly into the forest.
Blue lines entwined with green.
Snakes around trees and this
act ensures that intimacy is to ensue.

Call these blue lines the river.
A giver of life that makes you quiver
as you watch it deliver vital water
to all, as it sprawls deeper into the forest.

Dearest forest makes a promise
to look out for the cherished river.
And river promises to nourish and flourish
the flawless flora within the modest forest.

So these hues blend and mend each other.
Becoming something new in the process.
While still retaining their colours.
And this makes me smile in wonder
at what has been compiled in such simple style.

I only hope it will last for awhile.
