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.




I enjoyed the lovely poems and photos..Hanging gardens of green moss...they can be really nice to view..
ReplyDeleteCascading water.. is there a more intense music ever? And there is a sense of beginning.. before the water heads to the ocean.
ReplyDeletesounds like a beautiful place just to enjoy nature...the allusion to cappuchino made me smile...
