River of Life

Geese soar down the Columbia River ahead of an approaching thunderstorm on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025 in Stevenson, Wash.

The river flows

It flows to the sea

Wherever that river flows

Is where I want to be

Yellow not blue

Weeds bloom in late August 2025 as the sun sets over Red Bluff Mountain and Rock Cove in Stevenson, Wash.

Serene sunset

As sunlight fades, Red Bluff Mountain reflects in Rock Cove

Purple not yellow

Dark blue and deep pink hues paint the evening sky over Rock Cove
