Vernal Falls

Trudging up the mountainside

following the trail

Climbing high with every step

hope my feet don’t fail

Although the way is difficult,

the cool breeze is my coach.

The towering trees above me

applaud my slow approach.

Now I’m getting closer

I hear the rushing roar

I smell the fragrance of the pines

My heart begins to soar.

The water is before me

It sprays against my face

A rainbow rises in the mist

to speak of heaven’s grace.

Abundant life is here

Fresh green moss abounds

My weary spirit is revived

Ready to go back down.

  1. Wonderful! The beauty of God’s creation in pictures and the description of our life’s journey to find our rest in Him written beautifully.
