SNOWY CREEK
snowy creek
your water is so clean
ripple on a yon cold silvery stream
gray skies reflect your sheen
on a fat flow once so lean
snowy creek
usually only a trickle
now roar on little by little
empowered by flurry and icicle
hypnotic and kaleidoscopic
snowy creek
your change is showing
winter or summer easy going
my comfort is in knowing
your whispery ease is ever blowing
snowy creek
in warm weather, I am swimming
from your deep, my shoes squishing
in cold weather I am fishing
within your pull, I am wishing
snowy creek
many a stream I have known
many a trail many a tome
by you, I rest no more to roam
snowy creek leads me home
