Maiden of the Falls

The heat is searing
Humidity high
Cooling required
My body cries

To the woods i head
For i know of a place
Where privacy allows
Ones body to grace

A ledge of old
Amid a clearing of green
Where the birds rejoice
In this beautiful scene

Before i arrive
You can hear the sounds
Of clear crystal waters
In rhapsody rebound

I pass through the lush
And my eyes behold
A maiden so shaped
With hair so gold

The water cascades
From this ledge of old
Sparklingly clear
Crisp and cold

Downwards it flows
As my view enthrals
A maiden so beautiful
Neath the falls

 
Inspired by Carolyn's Haiku " Showering 'Neath the Falls "
