Analysis of The Waterfall
Deep in the forest is the waterfall,
Surrounded by trees that are strong and tall,
I gaze at the water splashing and free,
Tumbling and tossing it satisfies me.
No restraints, no restrictions its clear waters fall,
Inviting, invigorating I answer its call,
For God's water cleanses, refreshing my soul,
I feel alive and joyful as I am made whole.

About this poem
Whilst continuing to do my nature writing I had to write about a waterfall. Then I decided to turn what I had wrote into a short poem. A poem about God cleansing my soul and likening it to a waterfall. Kim
