Slowly creating it’s own serpentine
Left then right and then in between
Swift headwater or slow moving bijou
The stream seems to wander, nary a clue

Ducks landing in a secluded backwater
Frantic thrusting wings, feathers a tatter
Birds of all sorts gather, big and small
A grand avian sanctuary answers the call

The willows follow as the gentle wind leads
They all dance together, even the reeds
Some would say a harmonic progression
Together as one, on the edge of obsession

A dorsal fin pierces the water surface tension
Leaving silt below to it’s own suspension
The rainbow trout shows off it’s green and blue
An amazing display of tint, tone and hue

The lazy stream meanders with a certain calm
Mesmerized we watch without a qualm
Rippling water with it’s soul soothing voice
For serenity and peace, no other choice
