Tale of the StealingPond

- Stories from The Rivers Mouth -

Wondering around The Rivers Mouth

An OldBook I found

The book of secrets

The book long forgotten

The OldBook you see

Will tell everything you need

Or nothing

If so your wishing

From there you can read what you wanna know

And nothing more

Nothing less

I wanted to know everything

Nevertheless

On one clear day

I made a star tell me my way

Following this path

Wondering through the forest

Suddenly I was surrounded

Everything fine around me

But deep pain inside me

So up I looked

And up I kept staring

The biggest trees I have ever seen

Free from their crowns

The mightiest in the forest

Slowly fading away

And little by little

As well was my path fading away

Missing

Middle of the dying forest

Alone

I kept walking

Eventually a wooden path came to me

Easily I step along the wood

It took me to a little pond

I sat down and rest my feet

Watching the pond seemingly so sweet

This pond

The OldBook told me

They call the StealingPond

In the OldDays

Many moments ago

The StealingPond was the mightiest pond of them all

It stole everything from where it could reach

Children and other beings were easy to steal

But nothing enough for this pond

Stealing all the water from The Rivers Mouth

All their hopes and dreams

All the life around

On one rainy place of time

The beings of The Rivers Mouth

Had had enough of this kind

All together they rose against the StealingPond

With a little help

They cut out this daunting pond

So it could never again
reach to The Rivers Mouth

Helping her little beings

MotherNature raised her lands around the StealingPond

And beings of The Rivers Mouth hide the paths to the ground

Now the StealingPond just stays quiet

In the middle of the forest

Waiting

For someone to come close

Just a little bit closer

So it could steal once again
