Here I am...

At the lonely riverbank.

I looked around .

There were still remains of the flood, happened here a few months ago

The sky was grey, deep-hanging clouds everywhere.
A brighter spot was the only thing, letting you guess the hideout of the sun


I went closer to the edge. Stones everywhere.
Spotted a special one and kept it up.
T

hen I moved forward again

I didn't stop until I came to the top of a groyne.

Downriver, a boat glided through the water

I looked at the stone again.
Flat, without any edges.
Perfect.


I bend down, turned my wrist and then threw it.

The stone jumped about the water.
One,
two,
three,
four times.
Then it was gone.

While the last waves vanished, I looked up into the sky.

There, a raindrop. I felt in on my forehead.
And I didn't mind.

I spread my arms.
The wind whipped trough my hair


I closed my eyes, enjoyed the moment.

Was this freedom ?
