The Magic Waterfall of Green

I sat to take a breath awhile, Looked across the field of green, A waterfall cascaded down, Of beauty never seen. Amongst the forest rising high, A silent gap had formed, And in the sun so bright, A fall of wondrous leaves turned, to feel Its life- giving, shining light. Ilam, Derbyshire/Staffordshire borders.NATIONAL TRUST grounds. Looking across a field there is a massive hill where the broad leaf trees rise in a vertical magnificence and defy gravity. I sat on a wall and was amazed to see a gap in the very close trees and it seemed as if a waterfall was tumbling down. It was the light catching the lower branches, but it was absolutely fabulous and a blessing to see. One of those moments of Magic that Nature creates, if we take the time to notice.
