these headwaters 
meet here 
surrounded by it's wetlands
they've brought sediment...

pebbles, tumbled smooth 
to meet the secluded,
ragged edged, stone bank 
unearthed... left sharp
as rivers mixed 
end their flow

comforted, silenced
within musical birdsong
that greets to rejoice
the refreshing arrival

at dawn they hear the Loon
it's cry still mystifies
the mourning Dove as she
attempts to coo
him back to rest
