“There is a waterfall in every dream. Cool and crystal clear, it falls gently on the sleeper, cleansing the mind and soothing the soul.”

 ― Virginia Alison

Bring home the waterfalls

to make it cool and green,

and grow ferns and mosses

on the wall like screen.

To deaden the roar of cars

with sweet hissing sound,

break away the stillness

where its water is bound.

Shower the scorched earth

but make the summer longer

for the kids to play around

until the season is over.

Lend beauty to the arts,

in painting, verse and song,

in solace and meditation

       from the maddening throng. ~
