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
