The Spectacle
Sue O'Donnell

The spectacle
Of water
Falling, calling,
Cascading, crashing,
Fiercely flowing,
Spraying, splashing.
Sprinkling, flinging,
Creating, making
Soft haze
To amaze
Diamond drops
Into the air,
Moisture spots
Glistening, glinting,
Rising, falling,
Soaring, tumbling
As if skating,
Returning to churning
Below, a show.
Listen to
The tune
Beating, strumming,
Rocks over running
Water tumbling,
Shooting sideways,
Rolling forwards,
Downwards spreading,
Edging out
Trickling, sprinkling,
Shining like silver
Pol

Shooting sideways,
Rolling forwards,
Downwards spreading,
Edging out
Trickling, sprinkling,
Shining like silver
Polished precious metal.
Glowing, showing,
Slowing, winding
Into the fact
That disappearing
Can be done
Easily, readily
Ground soaking
Whilst also
Moistening,
To share
The water cycle.
Loud the call
The wondrous waterfall
Brimming,
Boldly, insistently
Over rock


Once more.
For showing
The grandeur
Of water,
Falling, calling.


O Lord, what power we see and hear in a waterfall, a reflection of Your awe inspiring grandeur, such a
wonder! Amen.
