Orlando Leach Jr. Poet Haiku

Nature Under the Sun's Eyes

Gracious sun-lit falls
reveal nature’s peaceful calls
like polished opals.

Keen river currents
in periodic movement,
like soap detergent

lead gravity’s fists.
Pathways hidden in steamed-mist.
Treasure found at tryst.
  
Now beauty, I gaze
Through the subtle sparkling phase, 
Let leaves, shed their rays.
