Cataract
_____________________________________
Water falls down
Gray and brown rocks
The sound roaring
Never boring
It’s pouring new spring rainfall
*
Summer brings drought
Drying out falls
Throughout hot days
Shining grays dull
Sluiceways no longer noisy
*
Icy cascade
Snow pack made fluid
Rocks fade under flow
Landing below
Where slow trickle brings new life.
