Turbulence

 

Fed by Lake Erie,

the turquoise turbulence

tumbles upon itself.

Surging and heaving

within its banks.

The Niagara River rapids

are racing to "The Falls",

ready to thrust its abundance

(75,000 gallons per second)

over the edge.

Where a magnitude of sound

astonishes millions of tourists;

blowing their minds with

this prodigious power

and extravagant display of creation.

And now a double bonus

when you arrive at this place:

the fine spray of mist on your face,

and a persistent rainbow

glistening with light.
