Climbing the steep path up
Grasping roots and tree trunks
Intent on where to place my foot
Care amid the dizzy
Trees embracing the pool
Sheltering us from the heat
Blue sky in the distance
Water sliding away over the edge…minnehaha
Reclining in the gathering waterfall
New splashes bring new gasps
Melting into the sound
Watching arouses my curiosity
The rush of cool water
Settling into the crispness
Light reflecting whimsically
Watching swirls my heart
Mellifluous peace
Rippling stillness
Flowing beauty
Harmony my heart’s desire
Letting go
Slipping over the waterfall
Into the beginning
Of the unknown
