More Murray Creek Haiku 2011

Entry for 17 July 2011:

1

Almost a year since

I last passed this way: Sudden

Longing for this place.

2

Winter storms reshaped

the creek, sweeping up trees, rocks,

berry bushes… bridges.

3

Blackberries slowly

now return, repopulate:

plenty berries soon!

4

Labyrinth renewed:

buried stones dug up, re-placed,

gleaming in the sun.

5

Late rains, cool weather,

water still runs in the creek,

sounding in the dark.

6

Full moon rises over

eastern ridge of Murray Creek,

outshines Milky Way.

7

Summer morn, I run

the road to town. When will I

come this way again?
