A Poem for Thursday...."After the Rain"

Maghera Falls

After the rain

The creamy waters

         Mist 

and bounce noisily

Over slimed black rocks. 

Escaping streams find new paths

To explore uncharted ways

           Down.

Past hanging gardens

of green moss.

         Down

To peat-coloured pools.

Where summer sedge springs up

By granite slabs.

And  frothy cappuccino bubbles

Race past each other

To fill the sparkling paths of blue.

Down to a western ocean.
