Evergreens

The ripples 

and folds --

hues of blue

gently flowing down

the stream

amongst the rocks and sticks and muddy seams.

Though they are quite and soft,

they hold secrets of the past 

of tumbling 

down, 

down,

off the edge of the cascade,

free falling.

No one would know just by a glance

that the ripples were once wilds,

roaring into the evergreens.
