All that Glitters

I walked on the sides of the great river
all day in the scorching sun
I'm tired and i need to rest for
there is a great journey ahead

I burned the twigs, to keep me
warm, yet i know it can never
revive my heart that is frozen
I gaze the shy hoping for a shooting star

The days has passed since we
camped under the same sky, comforting
each other and there is nothing left
except the pebbles that are washed ashore

I continue my journey as lonely traveler
there is no looking back, with memories
that shine bright and i realized
all that glitters ...............
