scrambling through the gorge
we follow the stream and sound
of falling water, famed
in myth and legend
~ we feel a presence ~
stretching to eavesdrop
on voices that greet us
rising from the rocks with
their smiling, fleeting faces
© Xenia Tran

Wishing you all a happy Monday and a wonderful new week,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

Waterfalls are so interesting. Your post made me realize that there are at least two images of waterfalls that I should have included in my post. >grin<
Thanks for sharing!

Maybe it’s the heat (it’s 34 °C outside) but I wish I was standing in the water at the base of that waterfall. 🙂
