# 2019-04-23 - Bear Creek by Ben Collver | |
Middle Coquille she knew me well before when i could speak. | |
Along her side the children hide and play them find and seek. | |
On their way to grandparent's house they stop to dip their toes. | |
Around boulders in fairyland the river of time she flows. | |
Once spanned her girth a footbridge where now noone recalls nor knows. | |
Remembered Earth a deeper truth, the strength of the soft and weak. | |
Pay mine respects to the beautiful neck of the woods near old bear creek. | |
Land of cedar, myrtle, and madrone. | |
Neither far there nor near to my home. | |
Land of lamprey and lizards on stone. | |
To these places my heart goes alone. | |
