Just a creek in the woods

You could probably drive past that creek without a second glance, after all it looks just like any other one in Iowa. If you walk along beside it down into the woods you'll come across a swinging bench. It's made of wood and perfectly placed so you can see through an opening in the trees. I promise you it looks beautiful in any type of weather or any time of day and night. In the rain it's empowering and noisy in the wind. The creek will rush and splash as every raindrop hits. Then the morning after in the sunshine and wet grass it will reflect more beauty than you thought imaginable. Silent and peaceful as the animals return out from under cover. It's even better if you share the view with someone else, holding your hand and speaking words you've always wanted to hear and say. Letting nature take you under it's wing and forgetting there's a world outside of those woods. Rain could make you cold, but their arms could warm you. The sun could warm you both as you swing and watch the animals. But then again you probably don't see that when you pass by, you probably just see a creek in the woods.
