Barry Stebbings Poet Rhyme

The Waterfall

The Waterfall

     From whispering voids in darkened caverns made,
     A million shining spirits and a million more
     Dancing phantoms in playful flow cascade
     In sparkling chaos to the valley floor.
     With singing voice in reckless rapture call
     A choir of tumbling laughing sprites
     Plunge in splendid anarchy to their rocky pool,
     And, in loud chorus of delight
     Invite us to their tempting waters deep.
     Siren voices in the dampened air,
         “Ride the white road with us,
          Join us - if you dare.”
