Path

My Grandfather swore that you could walk along the path made by the moonlight on the water. I tried but the path always starts a way in front of you - just out of reach. My Grandfather said that he used to swim out before the moon came out so that, when the path appeared, he was already there. I asked him where the path led and he said that he didn’t know because, whenever he had walked along the path, sooner or later, a cloud would come across the moon and the path would disappear.

Tonight is a full moon and the forecast is for cloudless skies.
