Waterfalls

A winding blue and white ribbon
Gushing past the huge boulders
Into the river and out to the sea
Bubbling, Roaring, Uninterrupted
Creating a steady pattern of endless rhythm
The arched creamy tree trunks
Towering over the transparent water
Green curves in the distance,flourishing with pansies, dancing in the breeze; the wind is whistling; something is coming
Like a wall trying to block out the sounds of the world behind it
It roars getting louder and louder until;
'WHOOSH'; all is calm
The huge rush has gone past
Wild, Fierce and Uncontrollable
Peaceful at times
Like a storm cloud moving from place to place
Like lava waiting to burst out of a volcano
The waterfall is unpredictable
It is nature at its peak
