Alaskan Waterfall

Watch the waterfall
The waterfall rolls over itself, cold and fast
Turning old bones and rocks into dust.
Shoreside dry, sun fully alive.
Bears in the distance catching fish, the river
Flows with life.
Watch the waterfall.
Calm and steady salmon fly out the water like birds.
The crashes and booms fill your ears.
Wolverines bathe in the water below.
Watch the waterfall.
Taste the water in the air.
Smell the air of coming rain clouds.
Crickets start chirping and mosquitoes start flying.
Watch the waterfall.
Feel the rain splatter on your hand.
Hear the waterfall crash and splat.
Watch the waterfall.
Green grass peaks through the rocks.
Sloppy mud under the rocks squish as you step onward.
