The Waterfall

By Silver Spectre

Secret places is all we have anymore
The veil of a waterfall that has become my eyes
Shielding the secret cavern of my thoughts
That whispers in this space secretly behind
Surrendering you to the garden I tend in solitude
This is the scenery we have become

The darkened cave to which I surrender
Where all around is planted the beauty of life
The soil rich with flowers in bloom
Where the beautiful creatures come
Bow their heads to drink
Translucently beyond
Where I dwell in a masque of nature
Where time to time you come to see
What I think you wanted all along
This waterfall hiding my treasure
