Black water rushes down the river,
Sunshine peeps through patches of steam.
Underground volcanic lava quiver,
Trying hard to break through its seam.
Oh Ye Faithful is playing its game,
Every hour it comes and would never fail.
The fountain is as wild as it is tame,
Its volume is surprisingly out of scale.
Trees line up around the hot springs,
They strive to survive this terrible heat.
For feverous love for life swings,
Roots distorted into horizontal feet.
So a mature and heavy tree tend to fall,
And a young tree takes its place and grows tall.
