The Creek

Adam and I amble,

 listening to the elegant sound of nature.

We feel free as we wander around this untouched land

 and  the sound of birds singing and crickets chirping

fills the otherwise quiet woods.

The creek flows gently, and the miniscule insects stride across 

it, as we calmly stroll through

this unfamiliar land, a mess of green and brown.

Though we are by ourselves 

we are not lonely.

We are in a community of creatures so filled with life

that we are never alone.

Everywhere we go

we are accompanied 

by the sound of nature.

-John Golicki

"The Creek" was my very first time trying to write poetry and it was a very fun and unique experience. It is about me and my childhood friend strolling through the woods in our backyard, admiring the beauty around us.
