Light and Sound Show

In the long journey of the stream on the lap of planar plateau, through the draping expanse of the emerald forest it slithers, rolls over the broken contours of lowland as the surge askew in the cascade of ribboned flow like fluidized swan feathers. It collapses on the cleaved rocky floor, clad in reclined ferns, as the gushing exuberance of splattered pearls of jubilation, expressed in monotone splintering the silence of verdance, the air in the tranquil valley ripples with the echo of elation. Gliding with crystal waters of the bubbling champagne flow, it dances on wave of land in dale of flowers in a looping line, around the balanced boulders sparkling with malachite glow, amid the patina of foliage glistened by the drizzle of sunshine. The seamless shimmering sky on the sheathe of green canopy, illumines the mystique shroud of diaphanous mist rising slow, lifts the dark curtain for the dawn to rise from the horizon fiery, in a trance I’m lured by enticing nature’s light and sound show.
