The Healing Waterfall
WE ARE IN NIAGARA FALLS WHERE WATER IS ABUNDANT AND COOL
AS THE SUN GLINTS ATOP ITS SMOOTH CASCADE WE IMAGINE US AS
BIRDS , WATCHING FROM ABOVE. AS THE MIST SPLASHES OUR WINGS,
WE FLY AND CIRCLE AROUND THE BEAUTIFUL WATER FALL. (BREATHE)
SWIFT AS THE WIND WE GLIDE DOWN AND JOIN WATER AS IT DRAPES
OVER THE LAND AND POURS OUT INTO THE GENTLE POOL OF WELLNESS.
GIVING BIRTH TO OUR EYES , OUR SENSES FEEL REFRESHED AND COOL TO
THE TOUCH. (BREATHE)
AS EVENING FALLS LIKE A VELVET CURTAIN, WE PERCH ON AN IRON RAILING
TO LISTEN TO THE FOAMY WHITE NOISE THAT GURGLES AND POURS FROM
THE TOP OF A MISTY GRANDEUR. ITS GOD'S GREAT WATERFALL AND WE
CAN HEAR HIS CALL , HERE IN THE GREAT NIAGARA.
WE TRADE IN OUR WINGS FOR YELLOW RAINCOATS AND WE WALK THE
PATH BENEATH THE FALLS, LETTING THE SOUND OF THE WATER FILL OUR
EARS AND DEEPEN OUR SENSES. (BREATHE)
WE STAND BY NIAGARA AND TAKE IN THE WATER RAPIDS AS THEY
REACH US. WE FEED OUR SOULS THE REFRESH AND PEACE IT NEEDS.
THROUGH THE HOLY WELLS WE ENTER THE CONCLAVE OF THE GREAT
SAINTS AND WATER GODDESS OF THEIR TIME. QUENCHING EVERY
LONGING AND FINDING INNER PEACE ATLAST.
