A Secret Place
As I walked through the trees
in the far distance I could hear
a rumbling yet tinkling noise
drawn towards the lovely sound
I moved into deeper denser woods
few sun patches can reach through
cold and dank, the air feeling icy
chilled to the bone I carry onward
When suddenly to my wonderment
I break through into a glade of fancy
the noise explained as cascading down
the waters seem to laugh, giggle and dance
Flumes of mist and steam arise
as the falling waters land on rocks
a small lagoon completes the vision
before me is stretched a paradise
A rainbow shines within the falls
and utter peace surrounds it all
a beautiful and secret hidden place
I walk away knowing I can return
That it will be there when I need solace
when I am weary and tired by life
here I will come to repair my soul
and give myself over to its harmony
