Water.
Perfectly clean and pure,
Flowing from an unseen place at an endless rate
And never running out.
The river flows along
Gurgling and splashing as it hits rocks in its path.
Suddenly the land comes to a stop
With a sheer precipice lying before the river.
The water continues to flow,
Cascading over the edge with a thunderous roar,
And joining its brother flowing below,
Sending a cool and refreshing mist out over the nearby landscape.
Creatures of all kinds come to be invigorated
By the feel of the spray and the sight of the beauty.
When the sun shines the water glistens with delight
And the mist causes many miniature rainbows to be seen.
The beauty of it never ceases to bring looks of awe and amazement
From all who behold
The mighty waterfall.

Expressive.
Again, not really my style...but this was so beautifully expressed that I find myself overlooking that. I nearly drowned in the exquisite explanations of descriptions. It was so consuming. I found this piece to be a reflection of my own yearning desire for my mind....Beautiful right Keep writing.

This was just beautiful in imagery and describtion. I felt the spray in my face as it hit the ground below. You did an awesome piece on nautre and the picture prompt. Thank you and good luck.
Really loved this part
The water continues to flow,
Cascading over the edge with a thunderous roar,
And joining its brother flowing below,
