Waterfall

First we heard the sound Torrential rain falling On a soft ground It seemed sounds were crawling It was a little mysterious Somewhat weird too Obviously, we got curious A sense altogether new As we took the turn There stood the white column A burning white unconcern For us all sudden and solemn As we went ahead The mighty fall came into view Below flew a racing cascade It was just gorgeous to be true For our tired eyes Afflicted with monotony It was a tremendous surprise Both visibly and audibly Between two mountainsides A deep grey ravine Surging with its angry tides Flirting with the lush green Dense clouds over the sky Spread dark shadows on the ground Still shining silver the fall high Incessant fall but undowned The calm the quiet the placid the hush In this milieu the roaring waterfall For the ravine a maddening crush Amazing, says the mountain tall The ravine gurgling The fall splashing and roaring The water sparkling Our wonder soaring The full beauty we filled our hearts with Embracing each other laid the kisses This much I could write, a poor wordsmith As we looked at the flowers of our fulfilled wishes September 16, 2019 Picturesque Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper
