Laughter fills the air
As the hazy sun streams
Through the dusty forest
It is the peak of summer
As youth dive into the cooling
Waves of a nearby stream
But in a moment
The joy disappears
Transforming into
Alarm
Screams
Desperation
A body is dragged
-One of their own-
Drowned in the waters
Of the clear stream
Ambulances speed
But there is never
Enough time
To return
Sorrow follows them
Stalking them
Like a shadow
Never letting go
Months pass
People forget
Of the drowned one
But for one
The one that drowns
In grief
For what was lost
On a hazy summer day
