An awaited Crossing: a #writephoto #haibun

Breathe.

Listen to the rush of white-foaming water. See the rippling currents as the river flows. Feel that stirring breeze.

Breathe.

Gather. Step to the span’s edge. Consider the consequences one more time.

Breathe.

Then step across. Embrace the other side. Listen to the rush of white-foaming water, now more distant, now behind.

Walk on.

sunlit glade

the diminishing sound

of the cascade
