Junction Pools

the grasses greeted me with open arms 

beckoning me forward on their soft patches 

along the babbling brook

the longer i walked, the further it unfolded 

before me 

shades of green, ambers, sky blue and 

oranges too

silence in the form of 

flowing water 

chirping insects  

and the whispers of wind stirring my hair 

so i think i will sit here all day 

to see what the creek can tell me 

about the day and maybe life 

but if for nothing else 

i can rest here

in this dreamscape
