These Gentle Sounds of The Waterfall

these gentle sounds of the waterfall
the more you dare to edge closer,
the more you are exposed
with those sounds of crashing water
with the cool air meeting your face

nature shares her magic
a type of magic created for us
appearing like a canvas for admiration
or merely dancing against our fingertips
a magic which is accessible 

the natural world consumes me
there is privilege in breathing this fresh air
i am small amongst this wondrous world
but this world welcomes me
as i glance at her beauty

these shades of green
existing for thousands of years
with eternal growth and power
yet a stillness is declared
my thoughts washed over and clear
