CASCADE

Thro' the dark silence they glide

as dancers 'pon a twilit 

stage. Mystical beams ride the

inky velvet air, as silken

rillets 'pon the mountain descend, 

breathing night's chill,

her pine scented sustenance.

Chains of pearly steps they trace

'mid evergreen lushness,

silver ancient pines, that ev'ry spire, 

each needle, may be, for

a moment, one with bygone stars,

that the woodlands the

empyrean Bride's glow may wear.

Daughters of Heaven's brightest

Jewel gentle cascade, as

downy dreams dip into somnolent

streams, scattering radiant

rippling ribbons into their haunted,

jade stained depths.

This tableau, wondrous rendering

of Nature's own spirits,

Earth takes into her heart, for its

blessed light to possess, 

for her repose to sustain thro'

moonless nights.
