Along Brandy Creek By Jim Fitzpatrick
The Coopersville Observer June 16, 2014 - - No. 131 |

Did you ever walk along an isolated small creek with clouds overhead hanging way too low it seems with a heavy mist filling the air while all of nature's things seem not to care
A solitary cottontail rabbit crouches low in the thicket wondering why you are in such a rush and the passing fox in the mud has left his track a promise that someday soon he will be back
A whoosh from above then you suddenly take notice of wild turkeys coming to roost in the night they don't fear but you wonder about the doe and fawn you saw the other day maybe in the brush patch along the creek they stay
The evening light floods in it is time to turn back the trail goes on but another day you will go there the weather may change the wind has gone northwest sunshine or rain who is to say what is best |
