Newhalem Creek

This is one of my favorite communing spots.












Warmed by the sun,
perched on the edge,
I savor the sounds and delights
of new water,
fresh snow melt
pouring in and over boulders.
Together we sing a song
of summer.
My soul is refreshed here in the sheltered wild
of the North Cascades, my place to inhabit, here on earth.
