Norvan Falls
Stepping into light
I’m swept by feelings that can’t be denied,
Wild water’s passionate cadenza
Becomes frozen in time,
Its soothing touch guiding my heart
I cross the bridge
From my reality to a mystical realm
Where cypress and cedars grow
On dormant mountains caressed by water
And wild vines climb up to the sky
I am seduced by earth’s essence,
Its touch becoming rhythm of pounding waves,
Their gentle mist, a kiss upon my face…
I wrap myself in silver dress of liquid lace
And float atop the water
The light expands outward
Encompassing all my dreams,
Keeping me in balance
…until I become the light,
A child of water, sky and wind
I’m floating with the waves
Powered by sun, moon and stars,
On their way to find a shore,
Allowing my mind to sing with their music
… and rest
