sitting by a creek

ice melts along the riverbanks
drip drips
join the bubbly brook
happy to be free
chunks splash
into the warming water
swiftly carried off
sailing a quickening current
freshly opened earth
kisses the bright blue sky
sun warm upon the skin
as scents of spring waft by
daydreams to the pitter pat
splitter splat
of the greening little raindrops
and it’s music to the soul
