Water Trickling Over Rocks

Watching and listening as the peaceful waterfall flows
Amazingly quiet with only a faint sound of flowing water
Time lost in the past
Elegant and beautiful
Remarkably tropical
Tragedy locked away
Rocks glistening in the sunshine
Images cannot compare
Colours rushing wildly around me
Kind and generous gushes of water at a time
Light reflections making it look magical
Images of my surroundings all blend into the water
Neither worried or unhappy
Golden water in Autumn
Occasionally not realising how wonderful it is
Vacant parts of rocks waiting to be drenched
Ever so green
Rainbows everywhere filling the scene with colour
Rocky clear water pools
Ordinary rocks look so alive
Cool mist spraying lightly in my face
Killing dullness and bringing brightness to the world
Scene set like a wonderland.
