The Waterfall's Mist

A mile and a half hike

up the trail

the river in the canyon

 down below

I get to the falls

finally

it's rained the whole way

and I'm wet, but not cold

and there it is

the waterfall 

and a couple is standing at the rail

and the lady says

oooh! look at the mist 

it's so beautiful

but I like to look at the river 

tumbling downstream

and feel the energy 

the crash and the mist

of the waterfall 

at my back
