The river and the creeks that feed it,
swollen and brown after recent rains,
flood trails,
envelop tree bases,
and flow in some areas
which are usually dry.
I walk on muddy trails
(for I cannot fly)
as I admire nature’s scenery,
listen to the sounds of water,
observe small waterfalls,
and notice many minute details
near to where run the trains.
