Nong Naro's Waterfalls

from under the shade
    of thick mountain foliage,
        winding through dense
           undergrowth, the creek
             gushes forth so noisily
              across the rocky clearing
              in the early morning sun,
             bobbing, bubbling, bouncing
          along its winding, merry way,
        sparkling with the dazzling
     brilliance of a million
gemstones . . .

it's a sinuous, silver silk
    cascading down three craggy
       ledges, forming three waterfalls
           each about ten feet high, each
              with a clear, cool pool below
               from where, if you look up at 
              leaping waters, you'll see
           bowers of mini-rainbows
        haloed by the dazzling
     brilliance of a million
gemstones . . .!
