A Divine Cascade

Glist'ing drops
Splashing into fine mist—
I become one with the waterfall.

Feeling joy
As droplets kiss my face
And enter my soul’s most sacred place.

Crystalline,
Anointing me with love,
Sustaining all life forms on the Earth.

Gratitude
For each divine droplet;
A cascading veil of purity.

Thank you very much Arlene. When I think of crystal clear water, I think of all those who don't have clean water to drink and that is what inspired this poem. I am so grateful to have clean water to drink. Blessings, Connie
