Waterfall

Cascading from the hilltops.
Pooling by the trees.
Finding paths between the rocky peaks.
Shimmering back to the sun its beams.

A powerful, constant feature.
Uninterrupted in flow.
Naturalists will search and discover
Where the water goes.

Majestic, mighty and loud.
Yet somehow it feels so peaceful.
A waterfall glorifies its surroundings.
It brings pleasure to many people.

When outdoors, do head towards
That rushing, gushing sound.
Take it in. Appreciate it
While we still walk the ground.

Hello Natasha ... easy to read and imagine the constant of a waterfall in your poem. The mist creating cool air on a hot day is so refreshing - thank you Natasha - Lindsay

Thanks Jan. I got confused between "naturist" and "naturalist" and decided to change it... Two very similar words with very different meanings (shocked emoji) lol :-D
