Called trail
Wait long enough
Water arrives
Trail transforms into stream
Bubbling
Bubbling
Bubbling
Thick Pacific raindrops
Hammer winter’s tattered canopy
Waiting
Waiting
For the tipping point
This woodland watercourse
Flows freely
But not deeply
Think of the relationship
Between trees
Earth
Water
Air
Once again
Words well up
With each reflection
