rd
A safer walk the 3rd may seem
With brighter light and warm, shallow stream
But do not linger, sprint with haste
Time is too precious and fleeting to waste
The spell which held the swirling pool
Holds also 3rds most dangerous tool
Speak opening words while on the run
For if you stop the wave has its fun
The misty gate representing 4th
Is the only respite from the tidal force
