Swirling black rapids run forming waterfalls that cascaded around me and swallowed me whole
Ivory amber windstorms wilted my defenses and left me exposed to the elements
Branches of an oak tree oversaw my staggering and stretched out to offer me shade, carrying me to safety
Leaning against its bark I bring my gaze out toward the canopy.
It washed over me that nothing had ever been so grand or great or tall. And I was happy, yes, happy, to be near it, and made to feel so small.
Translucent waterfall at the verge of the beach,
Natural sensation, drowsy summertime's peach,
Perpetually in motion, like the hands of a clock,
Terminating soon in a dazzling freshness shock!
Beautiful day scene, veiled in shades of green,
A sparkling jewel at sunset, or in gilded gleam,
And my heart will recollect, well after the sight,
Of cascading coldness rushing, resembling flight.
