Ode to Wonder

I remember the thundering roar of the waterfall
Scattering its veil of mist during the day
While gushing its streaming ribbon in the depths of night.
Walls of granite that rise like gods
Reach to the sky in their majestic power
As I am surrounded by a fortress
With patches of enduring lushness.
Roaming clouds caresss the blue sky
As I leave footprints in this enormous canvas
Where beauty, wonder, and awe combine
In a breathtaking exaltation!
No existence is insignificant as it is buoyed
By hope and renewal,
Through blessings of sun and starlight
And the grace of dancing shadows
In the echoing miracles and mysteries
Of nature's beckoning summons.
