He drinks deeply from the river,
at last his thirst has met its match.
For a moment 
the Dancer catches his reflection
as the sun glints back at itself 
from the silver surface.

He dips his finger, testing the water.
A new song resonates now
as he dives into the depths 
of apparent chaos
confident the ripples will reveal 
more than the moment knows.
