A Waterfall
Methmi Mandara 2007 (Matara)
When passing by the forest I saw a waterfall
Falling from a great huge brown rock wall
As a fairy land in a hole
Only nature, no bins or stalls
Silvery water falling high above
I wonder from where it comes
With a greeny environment so nice
I feel I'm lost but I can't run
I know I've fallen for it
As I saw a rock to sit
Sat there for hours but still
I don't think my heart is filled
After all I felt so cold
My mind is so relaxed as water drops
I wonder, Is this a silver cloth
Which somebody is letting down
I wish I could stay here forever
As a fairy, in a fairyland as in a show
wearing a silver dress which is so pretty
No beauty can compare as these so many
