Water falls

Ceaseless. Pounding

Background static

Twin flukes cascade

Over stream-smoothed rock

—–

The cave crouches

Snug, concealed from prying eyes

Out of sight and out of mind

—–

Jungle above and below

Enveloping, comforting

Nature’s green embrace

—–

Faces carved into rock stand

Watch over water pools below

—–

Clouds snake ‘twixt trees

Become entwined

A world without form

—–

No separation now

Between sky and forest

Heaven and earth

—–

Night falls

Heavy. In the world below

Bolts flash, illumine cloud

A storm over the ocean

—–

Our island in the sky

A hidden balcony as we watch,

Mesmerised

All the world’s a stage

—–

One hour of magic

Pinch yourself, try to remember

—–

Clouds roll over

And night sky disappears

Then reappears. Different this time

A field of stars below my feet

Who knew they could be so close

So fragile underfoot

—–

I must be dreaming now

—–

Embers smoulder, fire flickers

And conversation fades to static
