Seeking solace and peace
I walked barefoot
down to the creek

Rested in my favorite spot
near the trickling waterfall
now slightly dried up

Dipped in my feet
felt a little cool relief
as I watched my reflection
cast a strange rainbow-
of color and prisms
off the gleaming stream
and droughty rocks

Like a fish out of water
lost in blushing shades of love
heavenly higher
from a place unspoken of-
breathless with wonder

I sat and listened
for what seemed like forever
finally returning home at dusk
filled with many sweeping thoughts
of drifting wanderlust.
