H2o
O little creek, if I could only hear you speak again, splashing in your creek.
Today there's sounds of water, as you gurgle in your race beneath the bridge.
It was surely such a short time that you lived upon the ridge.
Summer was so hot and dry, and I missed your chuckle by and by.
Born from a peak so high above, you now speed through forest lands, to a lake with anxious love.
As you're swallowed up in hunger to mingle with the rest, you've a tale to tell to the fish in a very wet bequest.
A mountain now looks down from its lofty high, at a lake recharged with water from the ever blessed sky.
