Description
"Down by the River"
by Debra and Dave Vanderlaan
... The slow moving
Hiwassee River just after dawn,
at the confluence
of the Valley River
is encircled
by the Smoky Mountains...
A touch of fog
dances on the still water
of this pretty river,
mists floating over
the reflective water.
An old tree,
long tangled roots exposed
after the high waters recede
after Spring and Summer
rains have ended,
is just a gnarled stump now.
The morning light shines
on the glistening mossy bark,
a lovely glow accenting
the curves and shapes
of the roots.
The cliffs at the opposite shore
are called Lovers' Leap,
a high granite stone face
of rocks that rises suddenly
from the shallow river's edge.
Captured in Murphy,
North Carolina in early autumn
in the Blue Ridge Mountains
of the Smokies...
