Stop and listen closely
For the sound is drawing near
Nature's spot which stands adorned
Is giving us gracious cheer
The trees that stand beside her pool
Will give you another sense
While storms gives them rising mist
The trees will send the air romance
There is not another place on Earth
While one might stand in place and glance
While viewing colors of the sky
That spawn down from a water's dance
It's almost like we're giving gifts
Of life and water mating fast
To hand us all of nature's lore
And future holding onto past
The water falls in mighty tune
A river shedding more than tears
Such beauty borne of disarrary
Will sing a nature's song for years

Suaan, you fill the mind with images
and thoughts to stir the mind, as
"...life and water mating fast..."
"...river shedding more than tears..."
capturing the sights and sounds
of the rushing waterfalls.
Kudos for this creative piece!
