Excellence Award in the 'Just Keep Writing 2019' competition

The dazzling water comes flowing down
Like diamonds on a sparkling gown
There are lush green trees quietly swaying
Birds loudly tweeting on the eggs they are laying
Below the shallow surface of the water
The rocks stay so still while it ripples over
The slippery scaly fish bob up and down
While looking for food all around
The sun reflects off the glistening water
While heating up the tranquil under
White fluffy clouds drift and hide
While the blue sky reflects off the tide
As the rays descend over the horizon
All that remains is the sound of the dazzling waterfall.
