Mountain Spring

Snowmelt pours downward,
gurgling and babbling against
still standing rocks worn
smooth. Sending sprays of
river droplets streaming through
the air; across the banks,
pooling and swirling, frigid
with the memory of ice,
chilling tentative ankles.
While around them, trees
unfold with green mist.

    This is my favorite part. The imagery here is outstanding and it feels chilling, if not haunting. Love it!
