For visually challenged writers, the image shows a waterfall, its peat-coloured waters cascading over a rocky ledge and surrounded by trees.

Hidden Places

The beating heart of the water can be heard

in the torrent rushing over the small fall

Following the white foam footsteps into darkness

I wonder if this is a gateway to another world?

As the sound of thundering water

Disappears behind me

The sudden silence, deafening

awakes my senses.

I hear bird song unfamiliar to me

They perch, watching me

Bright colours flashing in the sunlight

They are not from my world.

Should I have followed the torrent of water

Kept my feet firmly in my own world

Will my feet walk there again

Or am I to stay here in wonderland?
