thunder flowed through forest mist
and cooled the skin that sunlight kissed
eternal tumble; trout's domain
fern filled banks where jewelweed reign
deepest darkest green lives here
the end of path where deer appear
if its refuge that you seek
you'll find none better than the creek

aunty: thanks for your vote! my mama is very frail and small. her skin is as thin as tissue. she is always in some kind of pain. but there was a sweetness to her sometimes and other times not so much. it was good to just keep quiet company with her. thank you for asking.
dianne: it is so cool and refreshing. cold even. sometimes after a hot day i will put a lawn chair in there and just have a little nap with the water rushing all around me. and the black and blue bugs are all round and giant dragnflies. once a hellbender flowed by and scared me to death. have you ever seen one? so primitive its lungs are outside of his body. (!)
fishy: thanks again! oh boy its not all that funny to have to walk around in the world like the elephant man. grrherha

ReplyDeleteHello to Chickory 's famous wine label artist!
ReplyDeleteJust stopped in to ask if you are indeed back to the creekside and was you friend/neighbor correct....were you stunned at how much your flowers and veggies grew?
Still voting for the label and,
will add my prayers to yours for your
" small, frail, tissue paper skin, in pain Mama"
I just know your visit to her was a true present for her heart.
What a great place to put a lawn chair,cool off and relax, how refreshing and soothing that would be...your very own spa. :) ♡
ReplyDeleteI do think dragonflies are pretty, I have a couple made with crystals,silver set with glass and one made of pewter that was a gift.
No I havent seen a 'hellbender', is it a kind of salamander; I like small lizards, geckos, chameleons though I've never seen a salamander, only in pictures.
I dont like snakes though. ♡
Does an open storm drain after a heavy rain count? The nearest creeks I know of have tires and refrigerators, used needles and the occasional cadaver in them. But I like the thought of having a place for contemplation and refuge that is not in my head.
ReplyDeleteI like this poem and its inspiration.
