Yesterday
I spent much of the day
climbing a beautiful waterfall
sitting under the refreshing cascading water
Swimming up the river above the Falls to a neighbour's beach
Where the river is much quieter and tranquil
There was a chorus of nature sounds
like the first movement of a long Symphony
There I sat with Heaven
we watched the clouds blow by
in the deep blue sky
Swimming back to the top of the Falls
was slightly quicker as we flowed with the current
We climbed around on the rocks
and marveled at the rushing waters
flowing over the Ancient Canadian Shield
So grounding standing on it
on a warm summers' day
We noticed patterns in the river
seeing them change into new designs
as the white foam from Forest Phosphates
painted a new picture every moment.
At one point
we contemplated doing a canoe journey down the river
that flows into a beautiful lake
but we just decided to stay and keep
the waterfall company
We meditated on the rocks
both opening our eyes at the same time
to be greeted
by a colourful Monarch butterfly
fluttering it's wings 20 feet or so
above the pond below the falls
and the Green Forest was like the back drop
to the butterfly saying hello
and please do stay
It's so nice to see
some peaceful people
who can just BE
with nature
A perfect way
to spend
a warm
summer's day
Journeys
can be
arranged.
