Tumbling down
its journey beginning
whispering secrets
in the rocks and crags
whispy tendrils
curling round
shrouded in mystery
curtains flowing by
Suddenly crash!
It leaps over a ridge
waterfall’s origin
showers of liquid gold
in the afternoon sunlight
glistening sparkling
white water does cartwheels
A calm pool awaits
the arrival of thunder
It rides the rapids
glowing emerald green.
The evening sun setting
waterfall’s adventure ending
Be quiet and listen
it has secrets to tell.
