Dried Out

Free verse

The river will continue to flow through my veins,

Or so I thought.

Turns out the brook had run dry
That even the rain causes more drought.
Burble...burble...
I used to hear
Loudly emerging from the depths.
Moist riverbed hasn't been in sight
Since the arid one athirst for relief.
Red crescent moon shimmering in the water,
Where have you gone?
Can you paddle back home now?
