Listen to poem:

Waterfall

Waterfall
David J Walker

The single waterfall into the canyon
Is hidden by the highway that
Keeps the passers-by in a state of
Detached nescience 
Protecting the last of its’ kind
On the Plains
As the stream barely has 
The means to continue the journey
Over the Mesa pooling on the 
Prairie floor
For the  few who may see 
It remains among the wonders 
Remembered for a lifetime
