The Guarding Fall

The sand dancing in the small waves
The gems of green in little enclaves
Leaves shaking in the ledge with little possums in the clutch
Hidden from the rest of the world
The water assailing the mossy rocks
Reborn
Refreshed
The water guarding hidden depths
Protecting the green trees
Webs of silk shining with dew
Not a single drop going askew
Water moving past the debris
Reaching towards the sea
Nature's sanctuary
