Waterfall

cascading
sheets of silver water
spill incessantly into the lake

thundering 
beauty before our eyes
beckons us to bathe in radiance

lost in froth
we find ourselves engulfed
by nature’s pulse, shimmering delight

lost in love
my heart is pounding too
falling with the water - into you

I don't think it gets much better than this, particularly in terms of a concluding line. Exquisite, to put it conservatively. It soars above a 7. You're a remarkably gifted poet, Andrea. Congrats--and hugs.
