In New Zealand Amongst the Ancient Trees

I remember
the crashing
of the fall,
and the smack in the face
of the ionised atmosphere.
The crisp clean jolt
of freshly created
oxygenated air.
I remember the crash
of the fall
in water crystal clear,
beneath natures
thunderous waterfall.
Floating in the thrall
I gave the world
not a thought at all.

Frank, I know what you mean I saw it the same way.
Good writing!

Eric, thank you for the read, it was just one of life's simple pleasures. Nice to come across someone who knows what it's like.

It's so nice to have something that chases the world away and then when we remember it and describe it as well as you have then we're right back there again.  That's pretty cool don't you think?

Makes me think of Annie Taylor's barrel ride!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

Dear Helen, I guess, but then floating around in the water dressed as well as the moment one was born, you don't actually get around to thinking about a lot at all. Then the noise, a little like white noise, prevents anything else from intruding.

DaysofView, a little less adventurous than a barrel ride. But none the less exhilarating. Also gives a person some time to reflect on how great a day can be.
