O Child Beside The Waterfall
By George Barker
O Child beside the Waterfall
what songs without a word
rise from those waters like the call
only a heart has heard-
the Joy, the Joy in all things
rise whistling like a bird.
O Child beside the Waterfall
I hear them too, the brief
heavenly notes, the harp of dawn,
the nightingale on the leaf,
all, all dispel the darkness and
the silence of our grief.
O Child beside the Waterfall
I see you standing there
with waterdrops and fireflies
and hummingbirds in the air,
all singing praise of paradise,
paradise everywhere.

Wow what a place! the roaring must certainly be amazing 🙂
It was LOUD Andy – the minute video clip will give you an idea of what it was like. It was quite full today as we had rain yesterday.
Even in the Spring it gets like that huh! that’s awesome 🙂
Great post! I love the mix of media. The poem is beautiful and the photo is gorgeous.
You are too kind Sima. Thank you so much and hope to see you back soon.
I love that you did a video of it, the roar the rush of the water. I went somewhere on Monday, but it was raining too much to take photos, but with all the rain the waterfalls and river were just rushing.
Oh my..I can only imagine how full the waterfalls and river were that you were able to enjoy. I actually love the rain. Where would we be without it? Thank you so much Leanne!
