I stumbled upon a river tonight

I stumbled upon a river tonight - Crooked yet calm, and flowing amidst the rhythm of the night. I lay witnessing its pristine beauty, that intimate wish to remain a secret, and a long forgotten peculiar clarity. It is devoid of sparkles from the mid-monsoon sunshine or crickets that are still hopping too far away. I dip in my hands to its only warmth to find and feel the origin if I could or be perfectly still and led astray. I stumbled upon a river tonight - Crooked yet calm, and flowing amidst the rhythm of the night. Do I follow its bifurcations to my pink pillow case or just cherish its presence and rise wiser into the light.
