its all about contrasts:
the water fine as threads
strung over shale
not deep enough
or strong enough
to stop that burning
I used to see this
fire and water fusion
as opposites in a balanced dance
a lesson for us,
so different in natures
but together
now I see
how the one sucks its energy from the earth
while the other
makes a grace out of falling
past those stones, over them
untouched by that flame
and barely brushing it
in its race
to somewhere else

I do not have a pic of this available on my own camera–it has been years since I walked here–barely 30 minutes from my house. I am taking the kids here for a hike next Sunday.
Good write I do like the pic you have provided
Thanks, Ian–I so love the contrasts in the pic 🙂
looks like an amazing place sue. what a wonder. enjoy the hike, should be inspirational to say the least!
I love it there–will get some summer shots and see what fire and water together do for the soul 🙂
i’m sure they will fill yours with poetry. no matter the season.
awww….thanks!
Interesting perspective…
Hindsight is usually so much clearer…
I like the pairing here and the penultimate stanza is my favorite. You are insightful about the elements. That’s a gift.
Thank you–I sometimes wonder if I have an alchemist lurking somewhere in this DNA, as I am so drawn to the basic 4
Worth a trip across the bridge over this way to see–beautiful and unusual spot 🙂
simply wow! poem and picture!
Thank you, Noel–the fact that these exist together, and have for so long, is amazing!
