Niagara Falls Poem by Natarajan Ramaseshan

Roaring and rumbling thunder
rapidly rolled into
spectacular and stupefying
sheets of water,
tied with
silvery strands of lightning
cascading down
with stunning speed,
spreading
awe and admiration,
creating
wonderful fear
and
fearful veneration.

Oh, Niagara,
the mystical nymph
and a legendary link
between
fact and fantasy,
history and mystery
and a standing
testimony to
tradition and timelessness.

We adore you, applaud you,
respect you, revere you,
value you and
even
worship you.
But,
yet to
understand you!
