Running water in the river
Expanded by the mountain melt
Swiftly flowing, sometimes growing
This year, its shrinking can be felt.
In summer people ride the river
Floats and kayaks do abound
Surfing, swimming, joy that’s brimming
Peace on the water can be found.
Folks enjoy the rivers charms
Cold water, yet they’re sunning
The crisp and clear, the water here
Never still, always running.
Love this. Years ago did much wilderness canoeing. You’ve captured the joy of such freshness and intimacy with natural environment. Thanks for this.
