Here is my SoCS (Stream of Consciousness Saturday) entry based on my visits to waterfalls yesterday. The rules for SoCS is NO EDITING, which is hard, hard, hard for me. Nevertheless, here it is.
Cool water
Crashes on stones
from heights above
Composing a song
of peace and joy
of laughter
white noise,
really,
but the best color
of white I’ve ever heard
As it leaves the falls
the laughter fades
but joy persists
in the babble
Such a small amount of water
now
which just created
Such a spectacle
It all connects –
the high
the low
the laughter
the murmur
the babbling
Awe at gravity’s ability
to take a simple compound
H2O
and create wondrous joy
and riotous laughter
one moment
Then peaceful contemplation
the next,
as it travels from
here
to
there.
