Twin waterfalls propped with boulders

The boulders, the boulders about to fall,

     catch them with your paint brush,

hang them in the imagination of viewers all,

     as the twin falls roar and crash.

     

Shoot the Rapids

Shoot the rapids to reach the falls,

     against the current and fear;

as the deafening cascade calls

     for a Hercules to steer.

A narrow column of waterfall 

Like needle through a hole

on a rock, flows this shy fall;

from where it came to where

it flows puzzle us all.

Morning view of cove

High rock walls of this cove,

     shaped like a caldera 

of a volcano long time ago,

     exudes peace in our era.

Submarine rock face lined with mollusk

Mollusks in unity and harmony

live in a subterranean cavern;

they carry symbionts of algae;

to make a home they must earn

with others into a community. ~
