Awakening

The sounds of water:
	a gentle gurgling
		in the glades;
			brooks babble.

The rains have awoken
       the waterfalls.
                All the little valleys sing.

Drops bounce
       from rock to rock,
                joyfully jumping
                             valleyward.

On the banks of the creek
       witch hazel
               foretells
                             the coming of spring.
