Cascade Serenade

Cascade Serenade

Surrounded by a forest of trees
As a bastion from the outer realm
An invisible glade that hides from man
But fauna hear the distant sound
Of water flowing effusively
And from the acme, sanguined rocks
A cascade streaming echoed chords
Of music in the liquidly air
Then to the nadir it descends
Into a torrential waters rage
To inundate the florid grass

The moon creeps in and all is still
Except the sound of crickets words
Extolling nature with their praise
(August 29, 2017)

This is so lovely, Ralph. I can see how you would have chosen it as your best from August! Sadly, I think the judge of this contest chose very few winners.
