Assisted by gravity,
the fluid force
of this mountain stream
surges with conviction.
Flowing freely
between its banks;
fringed with firs
and spruce and pine.
Tanagers and warblers
sing by her side.
Dippers dip and plunge
in her current.
This is where
I most belong.
Listening to
the riversong.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Dad! Makes me long for a river right now!
ReplyDeleteLove, Sarah
Thank you Sarah. Especially a river with the American Dipper as a resident. All four photos are from rivers in Colorado: Arkansas River; Elk River; Taylor River.
