It’s the brand new month of September and time for another Stream of Consciousness Saturday:

I’m told there’s a rainbow, that it’s spread itself across Niagara Falls, clear in the mist of the roaring waters.
All I see is white.
I strain my eyes to detect a colour. Colours.
All I see is white.
I imagine I see how blue the sky appears above all this. I don’t know if it’s blue. What is blue to me now anyway?
All I see is white.
I shade my eyes with my right hand, so I can go on trying.
All I see is lite.
It’s so bright it hurts and the mist rains down so bad, my eyes are shut tight.
All I see is darkness. No more lite.
I look out and the memories come flooding back, of times spent here, days long past.
All I see is white.
I miss you and our time spent here.
Now all I see is white.
It’s Niagara Falls out beyond this rail. It’s wild and grand and masterful.
All I see is white light.
Mmmmm…left a catch in my throat. Love the depth of emotion.
Thank you.

Thanks for reading.
I love the emotion and imagery of this. I was at Niagra Falls as a kid though I remember differently. The mist is amazing for some reason combined with the roar of the water its very powerful. A nice memory to share 🙂
Powerful for sure.

Thanks for reading. Hope you get to experience it again. Some of my very best childhood memories involve Niagara.
Lovely poetry, my dear. 🙂
Aw, thank you.
