Caressing liquid begins to pour
Avalanching patterns releasing more
Springs washing down to the valley floor
Channeling and trickling into open streams
Atriums for gathering of drink offerings
Descending over solid rock formations
Islands soak in welcomed celebrations
Nestling the landscape in natures’ fun
Glistening from light reflecting the sun
~~~
Filling jars from the gushing faucets
Opulent floating dishes there for banquets
Ultra pious rains, they dance in garnets
Nurturing every creatures thirst
Torrents of jetting waters burst
Ancient ruins decorate the gardens
Interior courtyards are lovers’ havens
Navigating ripples for the lovely swans
Sculpted masks in the form of bronze
~~~
Frequent bathers bask in marble basins
Luxurious washing around garden fountains
Overcome by perfumed scented curtains
Waders relaxing under floral-herbed canopies
Intertwined in their ritualistic pleasantries
Nuances of emotion linger in the air
Glistening waters flowing everywhere
~~~
Draping ornaments clyster all around
Overflowing life and purity surround
Wisdom and love from the arts unfold
New beginnings and stories yet to be told
~~~
Music from natures’ soulful choir
Alluring the masses throughout every hour
Jewels of pure beauty giving of their light
Every color imagined for the eyes’ delight
Savoring images of wonderments galore
Taken to places all around every shore
Imaginable fancies create little heavens
Canals enclose spaces through paradise gardens
~~~
Massive forces moving to a lonely beat
Ongoing regeneration giving off their heat
Uniformed changes in a willful retreat
Never ending shapes along valley plains
Tracing the landscape and all that remains
Allowing its legacies a marking in time
Interwoven crevices there ready to climb
Now adorning the labyrinthine emblazonment
Sempiternal existence beyond the firmament
