Cascading Waterfall

The forest is filled with a thunderous clap of water 

Crashing down

Glorious, glistening sheets of water

Pounding the rocks and smoothing them slowly

Creating a mist

That comes to rest

Gently on my face

At first a caress

That then forms droplets

Running down my face

To rivulets 

My own mini waterfall

Akin to tears of reverence

Palms out

I stand erect arms outstretched

Receptive to your thunderous power

Energised by this resounding strength

Remembering water is not only a placid meandering flow 

It is an unrelenting force when it falls from a cliff face

Cascading

Down

Powerful teacher you remind me

The water and energy in me 

Can be summoned to become an unrelenting flow of power 

To cascade down the cliffs of resistance

To cascade into a new beginning
