Waterfall



Raging waters, airborne off rocks,
to calm, it enters the locks.
Only to begin it's rage again,
down it flows, around the bend.
Fast currency, it passes on through,
the canal, made especially for two.
It leads to the end, the faster it is,
down it falls, feel the mist.
What a sight, as harsh as it is,
the colorful lights, beams off where it sits.
Summernight getaway, a tourists dream,
a natures attraction, is only what it seems.
