The beat is coursing through my body like a river. My heart pounding, my feet
tap like they're on water. The waves entice me. The sound of water murmuring almost sounds like singing. The air is warm and inviting like violins playing or bagpipes blowing.
We dance to the sound of the river. The sun and the moon dance slowly beside us.
Fire and thunderstorms rage on in my mind. And snow engulfs my heart. The dance of the river flows and stares deep within me.
I swim as a selkie.
My own voice blends in with the river with perfect harmony.
As we gather, hearts unite in a melting pot of time.
The flow of the river stays deep within me. It never goes, just hides under my selkie coat.
The end.
