Stolen line: "Then water enters."- Jane Kenyon ("Portrait of a Figure Near Water")

"The Creek"

As I observe my backyard,
my eyes focus on the creek.
The rocks,
the sand,
Then water enters.
It trickles over the stones,
Bringing life,
And sound,
To the scene.
I lay down in the grass,
And let the rhythmic sounds
of the creek,
lull me into an afternoon sleep.
