Next To The Creekside
I went for a walk across the feild
Hoping to find my warriors sheild.
Looked all around
And twice on the ground.
Couldn't find it anywhere I looked
So I decided to take a walk to the brook.
I slowly let my hair fall from being up
Shape my hand into a cup.
I will kneal next to the creekside
Take the water within my hand
Sip it up quickly
Dry my palms upon the land.
Sit beside the creek a bit more
Looking deep within my field
Close my eyes and concentrate
Finally I find my warrior's sheild.
