The sound of the waterfall

is like a thousand waves

crashing at once.

It looks like the long train

of a lace wedding dress.

White water pours

down below into the river

where an immense 

seafoam green

swimming hole awaits.

the water races over 

large smooth rocks 

on the edge of a cliff.

It doesn’t slow down 

or stop for anyone.

A vibrant rainbow emerges 

where the mist meets the sunlight.

The waterfall is the backdrop

of a mental snapshot.

The green of the wild jungle

surrounds It and tries to guard it 

from being discovered.

It’s too late…

I’m the first to jump in the

cold refreshing water.
