A poem about the power of water and its healing forces
WE ARE IN NIAGARA FALLS WHERE WATER IS ABUNDANT AND COOL
AS THE SUN GLINTS ATOP ITS SMOOTH CASCADE WE IMAGINE US AS
BIRDS , WATCHING FROM ABOVE. AS THE MIST SPLASHES OUR WINGS,
WE FLY AND CIRCLE AROUND THE BEAUTIFUL WATER FALL. (BREATHE)
SWIFT AS THE WIND WE GLIDE DOWN AND JOIN WATER AS IT DRAPES
OVER THE LAND AND POURS OUT INTO THE GENTLE POOL OF WELLNESS.
GIVING BIRTH TO OUR EYES , OUR SENSES FEEL REFRESHED AND COOL TO
THE TOUCH. (BREATHE)
AS EVENING FALLS LIKE A VELVET CURTAIN, WE PERCH ON AN IRON RAILING
TO LISTEN TO THE FOAMY WHITE NOISE THAT GURGLES AND POURS FROM
THE TOP OF A MISTY GRANDEUR. ITS GOD'S GREAT WATERFALL AND WE
CAN HEAR HIS CALL , HERE IN THE GREAT NIAGARA.
WE TRADE IN OUR WINGS FOR YELLOW RAINCOATS AND WE WALK THE
PATH BENEATH THE FALLS, LETTING THE SOUND OF THE WATER FILL OUR
EARS AND DEEPEN OUR SENSES. (BREATHE)
WE STAND BY NIAGARA AND TAKE IN THE WATER RAPIDS AS THEY
REACH US. WE FEED OUR SOULS THE REFRESH AND PEACE IT NEEDS.
THROUGH THE HOLY WELLS WE ENTER THE CONCLAVE OF THE GREAT
SAINTS AND WATER GODDESS OF THEIR TIME. QUENCHING EVERY
LONGING AND FINDING INNER PEACE ATLAST.

What a stunningly beautiful poem! It is all the more powerfully felt by anyone who has visited the Falls. The unrelenting power, the magisty of the sights and sounds pound deep into your mind and soul. You have captured it perfectly. Wow, Wow, and WOW!
That beautiful photo and your beautiful poem of the natural wonder that is Niagara Falls is an uplifting and very positive view of one of our country's greatest treasures that we share with Canada.
Unfortunately, on the two visits that I made back in 1977 and 1980, the surrounding infrastructure was rather seedy and rundown, old and tired looking, while the falls itself, was ageless (I recently learned that great efforts are being made to preserve the falls from rapidly becoming much less of a wonder).
I certainly hope that the surroundings of the falls have been improved over what I saw so that it shows that we are taking greater care of such beauty with beauty and not degradation from overuse and neglect.
IT SOUNDS MARVELOUS, MYSTIC! GOD PROVIDED AND YOU PARTOOK OF JUST ONE OF HIS MAJESTIC GIFTS ON EARTH...CREATED FOR YOUR MOMENT IN TIME! I LOVE THE IMAGERY IN THIS SHARING, THANK YOU MYSTIC, INDEED...GOD HEALS AND IS GREAT! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
