The water rushes down
Pounding the rocks below
A thunderous roar
The water cascades
Races down the rive
Relentless
I stand
Mesmerized
My mind held captive
Beneath the roiling waves
It is anger
And it is peace
Opposed yet unified
I think
On things lost
Chances, friends, lovers
I mourn
The churning water tumbles
Down, down, down
Cold and harsh
Serene and welcoming
The waters calls
The water falls
Spiraling down
The water calls
I answer
