The rippling of the river\'s water
stands sometimes short and sometimes
tall ,
just before it plummets with great fury
over cumberland falls
The water running over the falls
sounds like a great wind blowing ,
but it\'s just water hitting water
when it\'s flowing
Where the river over the ages running
has made very long hauls,
cutting through solid rock
leaving enormous rock walls
A beautiful wild river that
has never been tamed by man ,
it has always ran free
ever since it began
Giant boulders lie in it\'s waters
though they hold fast ,
but the water just runs
right on past
Ever shaping their roughness until
they are polished smooth
and sometimes round ,
like a lion roaring and chewing
away at them
but at other times with a
gentle and silent sound
I see butterflies lighting in a pile
at the river\'s edge ,
on a sandbar beneath the
overhanging cliff ledge
While a hawk rides the
rising warm air currents ,
not even some rain and thunder
in the wind for it
creates any deterrents
Birds diving from the air
to catch bugs off the waters surface ,
everything on earth
was created for a purpose
At night on full moon\'s
when the sky
is clear ,
a beautiful moonbow
over cumberland falls
will
appear
