Downstream: Mirror Cinquain

Nancy's Notes 🖊️♬

Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge.
Our challenge is to ponder the words below
and use them in a piece of any form or size:

light ~ fall ~ current ~ break

Image by Me & Gemini

pale light
settles on stone
the current murmurs on
carrying seeds that drift downstream
they turn
they learn
to trust the pull of something vast
a slow and steady fall
toward the break
of dawn
