Rainy Creek

The cool water,

So thick and fresh,

Wraps around my ankles in a rush.

All is peaceful

Beneath the vibrant canopy

Of green leaves

As the smooth flow

Massages my legs.

Lazy droplets collect on my skin;

I don’t even bother to shake them away.

All I can hear

Is the soothing call

Of the creek,

My pencil on the paper,

And a bird’s chirps of joy

For this moment.
