Stars and Waters
by Leonard M HawkesI learned your patterns
Near Box Elder Creek,
Worshiped you high
Up on the Snake,
Felt your comfort
Along the Rhine,
Your friendship
On Pacific's shore.
I've seen you mirrored
In the cold blue Bear,
Eluding fog in
Cache wintry sloughs;
But here on the banks
Of Willow Creek,
You're simply
The Lights of Home. 10/16/2003
