Standing in a forest,
The wind hovering around my feet.
Its light lifting me up and back again,
Showing me the way back home.
I follow the light until I reach the river again, and slowly
I find that I am near my home once more.
I gently step into the river, and forward I move, but then
I stop and look back at my companion, my friend, the light.
I know that it can not follow me into the river, and alas
I can not stay away from my home, for my time to return is here.
I gently touch my friend, the light, and thank it with a kiss.
I know that if it could it would come, but alas I must return.
Gently the rivers fold around me, as I climb back into my home, and find
My way back to my prince; back to his arms, I go.

A lovely take from the prompt
The softness flows with ease, the river, the light and your final stanza is wonderful
Thanks for your entry
