We sat by the waterfall, listening
And feeling the mist of the spray
We both got lost in the motion
On that beautiful blue sky day

All else was drowned out by the power
Displayed by the water's sheer force
Our souls were entranced by the motion
And the water's clear beautiful voice

Peace filled our souls as we sat there
Tranquility hung in the air
And although the water was noisy
We thanked God that we could be there

The pounding took on its own rhythm
There was magical music around
We were soon mesmerized by this music
We knew we were on hallowed ground

There was a simple and sweet fragrant beauty
That surrounded us as we sat there
The flowers more lush, the grass even greener
From drinking the always-moist air

Our souls were filled up by the quiet
That only true beauty inspires
The absorption of this magic place
Was all that our hearts could require

We'll come back to this place very often
To drink of its magical air
To partake of the power and beauty
That we know will always be there


This was written from an anonymous piece of prose my dear,
departed friend Charles Thompson sent to me.  Chuckie T, as he
was known, was the very first person to illustrate any of my work.
Charles inspired me to learn to do this myself, although I don't yet
know how to make the lake appelets Charles made for my poems
{his work is all offline now}.

My niece Val sent me this gorgeous picture in an email - thanks Val!
Couldn't get much more perfect for this song!

Love and Blessings to All who Visit.
