on the first day of the year
we walked
on frozen water
this narrow canyon
is actually a creek
under this snow
is ice
and under the ice
is flowing water
we could hear it singing
as it wandered downstream
our journey took us
to frozen waterfalls
with trees high above
the waterfalls had space to walk behind them
a bit magical to experience
water still flowed here and there
adding to the artful forms of ice
after shared snacks and drinks
we turned and wandered back
through the crevice
across another creek
up through a snowy forest
and
to our cars
a wonderful way to begin
2017
