Rain On the River
Mist rises from the mountains and meets
rain clouds spilling down the canyon.
Fish ducks fly up river, their
breasts just skimming the water.
The heron stands in the shallows, his
neck arched, looking deep into the riffle.
Fish rise to feed in the cool water; the
river otters play on the grey rocks.
Rain drops like diamonds on the surface
of the water; peaceful moments on the river.
Just returned from a fishing trip on the Klamath River
in northern Ca. Glorious!
