Notes About The Poem

POTW

Waterfall

Sunlight reave through cerulean sky and drifting clouds, melting the snow-capped mountains, through forest heartbeat and trembling leaves, upon dappled nature's breast. The placid echo sounds of the brisk captivating waterfall cascading downward into a plunge pool, a quenching path to the old roots and cold rocks dripping in soft wet green moss. Foliage subdued in a dream by the crystal stream bank under the shade of the top branches that weep. Nature's flawless evolving work of art.

Dear Eve, I admire the way your exquisite pen spills in splendid adoration of Nature. The potent beauty and charisma of your alluring imagery brings me to the heart of your captivating waterfall where I linger like “foliage subdued in a dream”. Breathtaking, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

The last line rings beautifully true. In South Africa we have power & water cuts (due to negligence & Little maintenance since 1995) and without water in my home, I feel the worst I have felt. I can't even rinse my tea/coffee cup. Water of all kinds inspire me (even puddles that draw kids, & Nature for fun) shalom, shalom
