Cascading water falls
Over sheer granite walls
The enfolding row of trees
Sway gently in the breeze
The droplets pause a moment
Humming with delight
Before they madly leap down
In a deafening, noisy flight
The river foams with anger
And roars with majestic might
Its waves of rising temper
Put hovering birds to flight
The fishes in the river
Eyes aglaze with fear
Dart away in speed
To hide among the reeds
The pretty scenic sight
Fills me with great delight
I throw my sorrow away
My heart is now light.

Have been there. There is something magical as well as musical about water in its flight. A lovely write
Always amongst the first to appreciate- hats off to you along with sincere thanks for the read. 💅🙏🏼
Beautifully written ✌️
You are most welcome Nafisa
Your poem is reminiscent of Romantic poetry, particularly that of Wordsworth, in which the human subject feels a deep affinity with nature. A significant aspect of your poem is that nature’s intensity, reflecting human emotional states, leads to catharsis, emotional cleansing, psychological relief, and renewal.
Thanks for the in depth study and feedback- really appreciate it. Yes it’s true that I have found that nature helps us to recuperate faster than any other source. And the relief is deep 👍✌️
You are welcome. I completely agree: nature's healing is both gentle and profound, and your poem beautifully reflects that deep renewal.
Having lived by the water many, many years of my life brings a keen appreciation for this beautiful poem. 🙏🕊️
How nice to have such a home that is close to nature- you are indeed lucky- and it definitely inspires one to think, as well as relax ✌️👍thanks for your time

Safina, this really moved me. There is such joy and vitality running through this piece...it feels like standing before a waterfall and simply letting its energy wash everything else away. Beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Have been to many waterfalls especially after the rains in the hill stations around Bombay and yes it does energize one for sure. Thanks 🙏🏼💐
